I was so shocked to hear the news about Mr. Sherrald. He was a strong pillar in Second Baptist, his faith and love for the Lord evident in his life. We were out of town the day of his funeral but my heart was with you, Mrs. Kitty, and Jay, Jill, Danny and Kelly, and families. You are all in my prayers. Psalm 30:11-12

Sherrald was a faithful Christian man at home, church, and work. Kitty and he sat behind us in church for as long as I can remember. Their marriage was an example to all of us younger folks. The strong faith of their adult children bears witness to Sherrald's spiritual leadership in the home. Sherrald was a kind man who exhibited real Christian love. I can still hear his voice and see that smile. Joni and I are praying for all the Jones' as you grieve, knowing that the separation is only temporary.
