Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of HIS Saints…JESUS said, "Verily verily, I say unto you, he that heareth MY WORD, and believeth on HIM that sent ME, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. We lovingly send our condolences, and continued pray for the entire family. May GOD's peace guard your hearts. Bishop R.E. Houston and Evangelist M.A. Houston
I am saddened by the loss of Mother Simpson and what a great loss it is. A mighty woman of God. I thank God that our paths crossed. I met her around the year of 1999. I met her through Mother Mary Garner and she asked Mother Garner to give me her number because she wanted to be acquainted with me. What a honor! She is resting from her labor. She fought a good fight, she have finished her race and she kept the faith. I believe that God is pleased, "Well done thy good and faithful servant." I pray that God comfort the family with his peace and that the family members and friends that has not accepted God as their personal savior, accept Christ. Blessings!
