Thank you!
To my Greater New Guide Baptist Church Family,
Truly extraordinary how you all showed up and showed out. Our hearts were touched and overwhelmed by your display of love, kindness, and support during the loss of our beloved mother and your church member.
We are at a loss of words how you all came through for us. Pastor Mark Thomas and the Church Family we “Never Shall Forget”.
May our Heavenly Father shower down numerous blessings upon you all. Love my church family.
Sincerely yours
Carla & Emile Jackson Jr. and Gregory Holmes
