To Our Beloved Nelson Family,
On behalf of Be Ye Steadfast Ministries International, we extend our heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences to your family in the passing of your beloved mother, sister, cousin and friend, Minister Dorothy Nelson.
Minister Dorothy aka Sister D. was a beautiful example of love in action from the day we met at Greater New Hope Baptist Church til now her love and support has been unwavering. Her kindness, compassion, and generous spirit touched the lives of so many. She was a tremendous giver who loved deeply and wholeheartedly, always demonstrating care and concern for others. Whether among family, friends, ministry colleagues, or church leaders, Sister D’s life reflected warmth, faith, and an unwavering commitment to those she cherished.
Her legacy of love, service, and devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Though words cannot fully ease the pain of this loss, we are comforted by the assurance that “earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult season. May God surround you with His peace, strengthen you with His grace, and comfort you with the precious memories of a life so beautifully lived.
With heartfelt sympathy and prayers,
Bishop Sherri Etheridge, Apostolic Visionary
Pastor Deborah P. Teel &
