RESOLUTION

DEACON JAMES WATKINS Chairman, Deacon Board

SIS. GWENDOLYN HULL Church Clerk

Imagine a world without the beauty and fragrance of flowers; and what would the world be without the beauty and fragrance of Christian lives? Our friend's life has not been in vain; His life has filled it's place in the world, and will always fill a place in our hearts and memories, and we feel that his soul is safe with the Heavenly Father to dwell throughout eternity.

Whereas, God in His infinite wisdom and divine love; has cal-led from our midst our Professor, InstrUctor, Teacher and our Business-man because He really meant business!

For many years, Cleophas Rogers was a faithful and proud member of The Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church and dedicated Choir member; be it therefore resolved;

First, that The Pilgrim Church Choir, has lost a faithful and valuable member.

Second, that we shall treasure the memory of his life among us.

Third, that a copy of this resolution be given to the family, a copy given to the Pilgrim Church Choir and a copy placed in the church files.

Prayerfully Submitted,

The Pilgrim Church Choir
