Brother Texture, Home with the Lord

Brother Texture went home to be with our Lord at 3:23 am Friday, 11/9/07. I guess about 9:00 last night the nurse was over and said his body was shutting down and it would be a matter of hours. Sister Texture was experiencing chest pains yesterday and desperately needs our prayers. Wednesday night when I was there Brother Texture wasn't good at all. When I hugged Sister Texture she said she thought that since he was lingering for so long that maybe God was going to heal him, but she didn't want him to have live this way. She sounded very weak. The family is rejoicing over his reaching heavens gates after 50+ years of serving God. As we all know very well know, they are physically and emotionally exhausted and they will difinitely feel the loss. Our little church has one of our very precious members leave us to go to his final reward. We too will miss him and his words of encouragement; whenever we told him "God bless you", his words back to us would be "He do". Even in his last days when he was saying very little there were times he would still respond as such.

If you desire their address to send condolences, leave a comment or email me and I will forward it to you. The funeral will be at a funeral home in 2 or 3 days. The Church of God of Prophey minister who has been a long time friend of Sister Texture's and she is the nurse that has been helping them since they brought him home, will be officiating. I do not know her name, but she's been a big help to the family.

Thank you for the prayers, please keep them coming.
