Sending our condolences to the Anderson family may God comfort you during this difficult time.
God bless you Bro. Anderson and family. What a beautiful going home service.The Lord used Bro. Jackson in a mighty way. Amen! I can hear my precious Sister saying “Hallelujah”. She was so well loved by so many.
I met my precious Sister at Sears back in 1986. Our love grew as Sisters. I could call on her at anytime and she would be there. Always with a smile and a helping hand.
Even when my children were with her, I didn’t worry, because she was a second Mom to them. I could go on and on. But the best time was praising the Lord with.her.We talked about the meetings and just how good the Lord is. We texted each other these days to encourage one other. My Sister, my dear friend. I will miss you dearly. But I thank the Lord for your goodness and kindness. Walking the walk and showing use the Bride of Jesus Christ. You will always be in heart. We will look after your precious family. You laid a good foundation for them…the Lord Jesus Christ. Bro. Anderson and family, the Comforter will come.
May God bless and comfort Bro. Anderson and Family and the Church Family in the Name of Jesus Christ. I believe that Sis. Anderson is overjoyed now and celebrating with the Lord. God’s perfect plan never fails!

Ezetta was such a pleasant person. She had the voice of an angel and will truly be missed. I pray that you will find comfort in the Word of God from 1st Thessalonians 4:13-14 where it states “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.” Be encouraged.
We give CONDOLENCES, BUT GOD GIVE STRENGTH, praying for the family.

This is what the Bride of Christ is, What a True Christian ,What a wonderful life you lived,you fought a good fight the battle is over.we will see you at the Marriage Supper.
Memories are forever and as time creeps upon us they never go away. We thy faithful children will forever shine. May God continue to grant us grace and mercy and welcome our Love one into his kingdom.
In 2014, when my mother went to be with the Lord, God surrounded me with women of faith to guide and inspire me and Sis. Anderson was one of the greatest among them. I’ll never forget being in breakout sessions at camp where, no matter the question, her answer always came back to the same powerful truth: “You have to pray. Pray and seek the Lord. Pray, pray, pray.” That simple, unwavering message has stayed with me.
Her voice was timeless, beautiful, and anointed. She sang with such conviction and whenever she sang you could feel that it was so real to her. Two songs she sang that carried me through some of my hardest moments were “God’s Got It All in Control” (which she even sang at my mother’s homegoing) and “Jesus, We’re Depending on You.” I still have recordings of her singing on my phone, and I have listened to them again and again in times of trial.
Every time she saw me, she would greet me so sweetly, say “God bless you,” and tell me I was beautiful. And if Sis. Anderson said it, I believed it. She was kind, funny, deeply Christ like, and full of life. Sometimes when I visited Jesus Christ Tabernacle, I loved hearing her cry out “Hallelujah!” with such conviction that it stirred something in me. It gave me a charge!And when she really got happy, she would jump and stomp on the devil’s head. Watching her praise the Lord like that reminded me that no matter what she faced, her joy and strength were rooted in Jesus Christ, and that encouraged me more than words can say.
Sis. Anderson, your life was a testimony, your faith unwavering, and your reward is sure. You never sought attention, yet you quietly poured into so many of us and left an impact that time cannot erase. I will miss you immensely and honor your legacy always.
To Pastor Anderson, I know you miss your “girlfriend”, your companion in life and ministry, no one walked beside her the way you did. No one knew her, loved her, or experienced her life as closely and deeply as you. I know your heart feels this loss more than anyone’s, and I am praying that the Lord will wrap His arms around you and comfort you daily, strengthening you in the days ahead.
To Sis. Lydia, Charles, Melody, and Christina, there is no love like a mother’s love, and I know her absence will leave a deep void. May the Lord carry you, comfort you, and remind you that her love and prayers and everything she taught you will still echo in your lives. To her grandchildren, her church family, she was a motherly presence, a woman of faith, and a pillar of strength. To her friends and relatives who walked with her for many years, may God richly bless and comfort you all. We grieve, but not as those without hope.
We will see her again. It won’t be long now before we, too, cross that great threshold, for Jesus is soon to come. Until then, we cherish her memory and thank God for the gift of her life.
Rest well, Sis. Anderson. You have truly entered into your eternal reward. Until we meet again. 🕊️
Sis. Ezetta was undoubtedly amazingly graceful and a woman of impeccable character. I told Bro Anderson that she was one of my favorite preachers wives. She has left us a testament of elegance and fortitude that will impact the lives of many for years to come. Words cannot express the debt of emptiness felt by all of us who were graced by her the privilege of coming to know her, especially her dear husband Bro. Charles Anderson, the children, grandchildren, relatives and friends. May the Lord grant peace of and hope in the promise of her resurrection as we wait with unwavering expectation to see our beloved sister again. On behalf of myself, wife and church I offer our deepest condolences at this challenging but glorious time. đź’•đź’•
I love you all and I stand with you and for you. Sister Anderson was the very embodiment of the love of Christ for all she came in contact with. Her example will always be a guiding light and a standard for us all at Jesus Christ Tabernacle. May His peace be with you always. May His strength carry you in your weakest moments. May His love always be your foundation.
Sending love and prayers to the family. May God forever keep you in the center of His perfect will.
Our hearts are deeply touched by the homegoing of our dear Sister Anderson. She was a true woman of faith, gentle in spirit, steadfast in prayer, and unwavering in her love for the Lord and His people. Her life was a quiet sermon of grace, humility, and devotion.
Though we will miss her presence among us, we rejoice knowing she has simply gone ahead to her reward. Heaven has gained a precious soul
Please know that all of you are in my prayers and thoughts during the passing of our precious sister. Our loss is definitely heaven’s gain. I will never ever forget her beautiful smile or laugh and her positive attitude through all things. I know when she reached heaven’s shore her loved ones were waiting. “Oh won’t it be wonderful there”
