Michael and Vivian Osinowo, express to Mama JoeNell, Frank Jnr, Mitch, Valesha and Josh, our hearfelt love, we remember you in our prayers daily, and thank you for sharing him with us. We will surely miss this "Man of God. We will miss his humor, his dedication, his light, and his love. Your encounter with him would ensure you know the WORD, he was a walking bible and a motivator. He has left us a wonderful example to follow, for that we are consoled. He was mighty man of valor who brought giants in the likes of Bishop TD Jakes, Creflo Dollar, Rod Parsley, Dr. Freeman etc to the city of Raleigh, yet his humility is unrivaled. I remember he would walk up to my husband and I asking about our wellbeing and also tickle our baby in the stroller. The church is super mega but he would immediately pick us from the crowd even when he comes across my hubby in the store. When he met my parents for the first time, he was so warm and unassuming, they immediately locked eyes with him, and he spoke highly of them to the welcome team, like they have known each other for years. We will never forget how much that meant to us, he was just so loving, kind and out of genuine concern asked if all was well each time. He sure left deep imprints in our lives, and I know there are many that feel that way. Bishop was a man unique like no other--he was so Godly,sweet,loving, kind, compassionate as well as one of the smartest and wisest men I have ever known, you will be greatly missed but we rejoice that you are in the presence of the Lord receiving your rewards you so justly deserve for your dedication and hard work. The unadulterated word you bring forth, propelled us to enroll our daughter at the church daycare, and now she is in the church academy. My family and I will personally represent your legacy, and it will not go to waste in Jesus Name.
Stay Strong Mama JoeNell we are praying for you and your family ceaselessly!
2 Timothy 7-8
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." Bishop Frank Summerfield was a father to us. His kindness, warm hugs, the twinkle in his eyes and his quick whit will be greatly missed. His memories will surely live in our hearts forever. Until we see him again….
