To Lady Katana Austin-Burell, Pastoral Mother Jackie Burrell, all of your family, and the entire St. Mark Missionary Baptist Church family...It is with the most profound sympathy and sorry that I, and the St. John Missionary Baptist Church family, extend to you our most heartfelt and soul-shaken sympathies. At this time, we lift you all before He who does all things well. Our hope for you is that God will continue to hold you in His Hands. I applaud you for your grace and strength at this moment of great pain, for as I read your comments, you have done more to encourage and strengthen all of us, and that is only because you KNOW HIM. I do not say our brother is lost, for nothing is lost when you know where it (he) is...he is with HIM! Please know we stand ready to support you, and walk alongside you. He was a Great Friend, True Brother, Faithful Servant, and Mighty Man of God.
