Brother Jay, Momma Jeanette is so special to me and just because she changed her address doesn't mean she's not still a special blessing to me. I love you both. LeAnn Meeks

I lost my biological mother and spiritual mother both in a span of a few weeks. Jeanette was my spiritual mother in every aspect. May she have yellow roses in Heaven always. My heart and prayers go out to you Pastor Jay, Mike, Bruce and Joni and all your family. She will be missed.

Brother Jay, Mike, Bruce, and Joni, You may not remember me but I was raised at Life along with my sisters and brother. Brother Jay...you and Jeanette are spiritual parents to me and my siblings and we love you both dearly. The hardest year of our life my mother Sharon Morris passed away, then 5 months later my baby sister- Jo's only child, 4 year old Krista left us in her sleep. That year was a blur but at the center of it, was you 2, especially Jeanette when she got to Jo, she just held her and rocked her and I believe her love and yours helped us to go on. She has left an amazing legacy of love and will be remembered and loved for always. Till we meet again....Karen
