To my brother Cjon, Pastor Virgil ( Dad ), Pastor Jeri and Denise,
I hope you remember me. I was there in 93' - 94' and was part of "The Men of Faith" and on the praise team. I have just found out about my brothers transition to glory and I am still trying to wrap my head around it... It's been 16 years and I have missed you all terribly. I have lived, ministered and worked here in Tokyo for ...
I recall being at the Patterson house one Saturday for piano lessons, and asking Cjon, "Do you ever get tiered of holding those notes and singing like that?" I had always admired his passion for Christ - drumb-playing and ministering in song. Without hesitation, his response to me was, "You should never get tiered of singing and praising God" It has stayed with me this many years. We'll see...
What a honor and a privilege it was to be able to be under your tutelage, and taught the true meaning and significance of praise and worship. I miss your authentic praise, and heartfelt worship. O the ministering that went forth and how your gifts were used to uplift and edify our Lord, savior, and King.
I miss you, you were my brother, and you helped me see what was inside of me all the time...
You will be truely missed....
I miss you dearly Brother Cjon, you will always be in my heart. I know Ii will see you again
You and your Dad brought Light to South Carolina. You laid hand on me to minister on drums; on Pam to minister on keyboard. We use our gifts to glorify God and serve. We carry your labor of love and share it with others....so you live on....you live on. Peace my little brother...Peace.

Denise:
Only God can give someone the strength that Barb and I witnessed in your message to Cjon. We can tell that you indescribably miss your husband...... but we also hear your unfailing trust and faith in our GOD!
Just know we are here for you and your family as you continue in the weeks and months to come.
My Best Friend and My love, words cannot put into words how much I miss you. Your Homegoing was so beautiful and so many people came, some traveling overseas. Even weeks after, the outpouring of love still amazes me but it shouldn't - this IS the Body of Christ I speak of! Not a day goes by that me and the children don't think about you We talk about how much life (energy) and laughter you ...
