*Bro. Wages was the first member who's funeral was held in the new church auditorium. We all thought that was so fitting, as he worked so hard to get the new site and church built. He was such an inspiration to me, and I will never forget the love and affection he showed in the short time we were friends. He was the grandfather that I never had. Thank you, Bro. Wages for always being there for me. I love You.
