    Our thoughts and prayers are with the Massey Family in the loss of Bro. Melvin Massey. He was our Overseer in Texas and we dearly loved this man and his wife. We attend the Paris, Texas Church of God. Heaven gained another angel in his passing and I know the Family will miss him but our prayers are with you all.

    You will be missed terribly. You blessed me and my hubby marrying us nearly 23 years ago. You honored us by officiating the funeral services for my Mom and Dad. Cousin Melvin, you were a great man of God. You will be missed on this earth, but your Heavenly homecoming is glorious. You are now in the presence of our almighty God. Praise Him. Love you so much. Prayers for the family for peace and strength.
