To Ida & family, Ms. Catherine, Bernard & the children:
Extending special thoughts & prayers to each of you at a time such as this.
None of us were expecting to get this dreadful news about “our Kevin”. So many of us knew when both boys were born & grew up in First Nazareth.
Kevin was a man for all seasons in our church from the time he knew who he was and whose he was. His presence among us is no more & a vaccum already exist.
We pray your strength in Him who gives us what we need to move forward in Kevin’s absence.
May his eternal rest with the God he served faithfully, be in peace & power!
I think at a time like this, that “our thoughts and our ways” are not His thoughts & ways..
Therefore, we continue to accept the acts that we neither expect nor
can believe about our loved ones.
Beyond that we still have to trust our omnipotent, omnipresent and
omniscient God that we serve.
His power and Glory reigns forever!
My Condolences To The Smalls Family

Sending my deepest condolences to the Smalls family during this time of bereavement. I pray that God will give you peace that surpasses all understanding.
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. — Isaiah 41:10
Mere words can not express my sincere condolences. You were one of the first people who befriended me when I first started attending FNBC. Through the years I have enjoyed laughing and joking with you. Some phrases will forever be embedded in my heart as you being the author, “yo mamma” and “scooch over”. (I still believe K Michelle owe you royalties for that one)
Yes your presence will be missed. Prayers and much love for the love.
To cousin Ida, my condolences from my family to yours. God will see you through, praying for peace and comfort to you all.
Rest in paradise my friend. Sending healing energy to the Smalls family. I know no words can express to help y’all in this time of bereavement but trust in the most high to see y’all through.
Cousin, words can’t express the grief, pain and shock we are feeling. You lived and gave us the memories we never imagined we would be speaking of. The family reunion was our time to catch up, but this continues to show that we need to do more often. Rest in Power.

I knew Kevin for just a short while in comparison to some. I worked in the sound booth with him at First Naz for a bit and discovered a friendly soul. A few things for certain, he loved his family, his church, them Cowboys and most importantly the Lord. A pleasure to have known him on this side. Prayers for peace, comfort, and good fortune for the family.
