To the family, peace and grace during this time. I am sad yet he is forever in my heart. Working by his side in Hawaii was a blessing. His wisdom and love of God and people was most important. The gentle guidance and mentoring encouraged me to accept my calling in becoming ordained and licensed. He sent me his books two years ago. Howard Thurmond's books are in my library. As Pastor King would say, "Press On"... God Bless.
