Well its been over two years now since My sweet daddy passed away. NOt sure why I searched for his name today on the computer. Just hoping to get a glimpse of something from him. Then this page popped up. I read alot of sweet and wonderful memories about my daddy today. Some I did not know about and even some post that I have not read. My way of venting today I guess. People think I should be strong and ok by now. I am NOt. Daddy was my Rock. He gave me the insight on how to keep going. I miss him so much. I often hide my feelings, not sure if the ones around me get it. So I keep it to myself . My heart breaks so badly. Braelyn as daddy called her Little Brae Brae, had a melt down the other day. Said nothing was the same. She didnt like Christmas anymore. Papa was the inspiration of the family. She also said even our family is not the same. Everyone had went there separate ways and forgot what is important. In a way she is right. Daddy was so proud of Ja and myself. The gran kids, Zane and Jill. I believe some have lost the importance of God and living by example. Maybe because they are angry or because daddy is not around for encouragement and that phone call daily. I will not give up. I will continue to Trust in God! Our family will some way some how continue. Mama is so strong and she worries for us all. God had truly been amazn to her. If someone does read this, continue to pray for us all. Pray for mama . Pray for Jason, This had been rough on him.

To the Family:Take comfort."But Christ has been raised from the dead,the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep in death.For since death came through one man,resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.For just as in Adam all are dying so also in Christ all will be made alive.For he(Christ)must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet.And the last enemy,death,is to be brought to nothing."(1 Cor.15:20-22;25,26)Please accept my condolences.
MY DADDY!!! I will truly miss my Daddy!! My Daddy was the first gift God gave me from Heaven!!! daddy was the friend to me that NO one will ever know. I could tell my dad anything, he will stand beside me, walk with me and stand up for me. My daddy is a true father, leaving instructions for me and my sons for a lifetime. Daddy lived what he believed. I will see my daddy again when THE one who gave me this gift opens the doors of heaven to welcome me!! I have not always been the best, but I was truly raised by the best. One last thing I hope you the read this will remember, I quote my daddy " NEVER GIVE UP"

So sorry to hear of the passing of Brother Bryant. There have been a lot of memories of the family.
Rozell McClure and Family
I was so sorry to learn of Brother Bryant's passing. I have many fond memories of his zest for life, his laughter, and the joy he took in ensuring all who were with him had a good time. He was always a big cut-up but when you got him to be serious, and sometimes that was hard, he had a deep love of God and people and could relay words of wisdom that would make you say "wow."
I always knew he had known my father and worked with him but it wasn't until after Dad's passing that I read in his journal all the times Jerry stayed at our house and traveled with him in various services to promote Sunday School work. Their friendship and respect lasted many years. I can only imagine the stories they will share in Heaven.
It is my prayer that God will comfort you, sustain you, and the Holy Spirit hold you in the days ahead.
With love and fond memories,

So, sorry for your loss. God never makes a mistake and he has rewarded Jerry a Home in Heaven. Be assured that he is rejoicing today in the presents of all the saints gone on before. We will meet him again.
I don,t know where to begin, about how much Bro Jerry meant to Jack and I, he was not only our pastor, he was one of the best friends any one could ever hope to have. Will miss the many time that we would spend talking on the phone or going out to eat together. 12 years a go when i first walked in side the doors of the Mableton church Of God Of Prophecy, I felt the sweetest spirit. I was instantly drawned into a love that I had never knowned before. Bro Jerry and Sister became more like my brother and sister, not just my pastor. After that first Sunday I knew I wanted to have a relationship with God like these two individuals spoke about. I was brought up in church, but never really met any one that excepted you as you were, someone who never judged you, but instead prayed for you. I can truely say I felt at home tha it first visit. My husband Jack loved brother Jerry, I enjoyed seeing them interact with each other, you would
have thought they were siblings, thank you our dear and precious friends for excepting us, we will miss you so much, but we will meet again, we thank you for the memories. R.I.P
Jack and Charlotte Popham
