Dear Brenda, Al, Amanda and Matt,
Brother J.C. was soooo special to the precious saints of Troy Baptist Temple. It was my privilege to be his pastor for several years and I will always remember his love for the Lord, His Word, and His people. I sat down at my desk and wrote a tribute to him that I will email to you later. May the God of all comfort do His office work in your hearts in the coming days and months. Heaven becomes sweeter because of home-goings like this!m John 14:1-6
You are loved and prayed for,
Pastor & Dolly Arrowood

My thoughts and prayers are with you Brenda, Al, Amanda and Matt. I know he will be missed greatly. I am glad he is at peace from his suffering and in Heaven with his beloved. He was a great neighbor to me during the 10 years I lived beside him. I will miss him.
Brenda, Al, Amanda, and Matt, I'm so sorry for your loss but I'm so happy for Mr. Kirkland. We are praying for God's grace and the comfort of the Holy Spirit to see you through this difficult time. I love you.
Brenda,
I am so very sorry to hear of your father's passing. But I celebrate with you his arrival into Eternity, and the wonderful legacy of family and faith that he leaves with us here. In the coming days, in the quiet moments, may you and your family feel the Lord's comfort and peace in your spirits.
Blessings,
Marian
