If I were only allowed one word to describe Sister Sandra White, it would be LOVE. During my days at Southern, she showed me what love and acceptance looked like. My condolences to her family and her Southern family. May her memory be a blessing and comfort to all she touched.

To the late Sis. Sandra White famly: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalms 34:18 NIV It is difficult to express sufficiently my heartfelt sympathy upon hearing of the loss of your loved one. My deepest condolences are extended to you in the passing of Sis. White. I'm sure there's an awful emptiness left by her passing. However, with the love of the Lord and support from family be assured that God will grant you strength. Be encouraged during this period of bereavement by trusting in the Lord with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. I've never had the opportunity to meet Sis. White. However, her admiration for the Lord was evident through those wonderful inspirational prayers and songs she shared on Christian Ministry Beyond Walls noonday prayer line whereas Pastor Michael A. Sanders in Richmond,Va is the founder. Although you are walking in the valley of death, the Lord is with you. Be comforted in knowing you're not alone. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
