I will truly miss my dear sister-in-law.
She has been a part of my life for a life time. Since I was 6 years old.
So many wonderful memories.
A true woman of God.
Her presence will be missed and never forgotten.
To our esteemed Ohio District Council Chairman, Bishop Melvin Brown, family, Cathedral of Praise family and friends:
Sister Deborah Payne-Essick and I extend our sincere condolences and prayers concerning the transition of First Lady Rosalee Brown from earth to glory.
We are unable to attend the service due to Pastor Essick having surgery this week, but would like to say a few words concerning Lady Brown.
What a pleasant and accommodating spirit. She always was there to help when we came to the church and was someone I looked forward to speaking with.
Speaking from personal experience, there is nothing like having a good wife as a pastor.
Bishop Brown you have my continued support and prayers. God has a purpose and may His will be done and in all things we give thanks because this is His will concerning all of us.
The Lord bless and keep you,
Elder Henry Essick II
Pastor Intl. Christian Faith Church.
Bishop Brown and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in our prayers. May the Lord take you through these trying moments and keep you in the hollow of his hands.
You have our love and support.
Bishop and First Lady William B. Smith, Sr.
