My heart goes out to June, Gil, and all the family. Bro McKee led me to Christ and baptized me and my 2 children 3/22/1981. He was my spiritual father and dear to my heart. I loved him like my own daddy. God bless you June, Gil and all the family.

Garland came to Illinois and officiated the funeral of Harley M. McCrite his uncle and my grandfather. That was the only time I heard him preach but he gave a powerful message that day.
