I debated and prayed several months concerning the content of the following review. To promote closure, I determined I had to write it. My name is Bonnie Dancer Boyd. My sister, Areatha Williams expired in April 2016. I was unhappy and I am sure Areatha would have been disappointed at the lack of support recieved from Mt. Zion Baptist of Kalamazoo, Mich. church family. God used Peter as a demonstration of how he wanted his church to be patterned. Matthew 16:18--And i say also unto thee,That thou art Peter, and upon this rock, I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. He also referrs to Peter again in John 21:17--He saith unto him the third time, Simon , son of Jonah, lovest thou me ? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things;thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. I understand my sister was not a lead sheep but she was a sheep which the shepard should have been aware of her needs. John 10:14-- I am the good shepard, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. Death is something which cannot be planned around activities of life. I understand some activities were planned for the church during the time of her death. Matthew 18:12 How think ye ? if a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray ? The times offered for the funeral were Friday and Saturday. We appreciate the offers but a conversation with the family would indicated the following : 1) Friday-- speaking with the family would indicate attendants of the funeral would be elderly first cousins who live in distant states. This means younger peoples would have to transport them. Employers do not allow time off for distant relatives. CONTINUING REVIEW ON NEXT PAGE
