Mrs June, So sorry for your loss.Did not know Bro.Garland had passed away. We go to another church in Baton Rouge now,and have lost touch with all the older people I grew up with ,so I did not hear. I was talking an older retired pastor in my SS class, and were talking about Bro McKee's CD's .He said I sure wish I had a copy of them.He is 90 and home bound.I told him I would try and buy them for him.that's when I found out about Bro Garland. Again, I know it has been a while ,but so sorry for your loss. You and Bro Garland had big influence on my life.Every time I hear an offertory, I think of you.

I just keyed his name in. I was wondering where he moved to when he left Clinton ms. I remember talking to him about the lord and his Pontiac chief executive car. He will be missed and he was loved all throughout all communities. He truly embodies what a Christian man and godly servant Should be.
