"To the Family of Reverend Roosevelt Lindsey Sr. Senior Bishop Dr. Sam Wherry PhD of World Link of Churches & Ministries, Inc.-Baton Rouge, LA on this Ninth Day of November, In the year of our Lord Jesus Christ, Two Thousand and Thirteen; submit the following resolution in recognition of Reverend Roosevelt Lindsey Sr. This resolution is submitted on behalf of our deceased Brother and Fellow Yoke-man in Jesus Christ.
Mother Inez Lindsey, Presiding Elder Roosevelt Lindsey Jr.& Attorney Kay Christian Lindsey, Mr. Rickey Lindsey, members of the Lindsey family ; Grief is a perfect normal response to the death of Reverend Roosevelt Lindsey Sr. It is an adjustment process, which will allow all of you too gradually to accept this loss. The process is the same whether you are grieving the loss of a brother, sister or other significant person.
The death of Reverend Roosevelt Lindsey Sr. from this mortal state to immortality is a great loss and it is necessary to acknowledge it not only to your self-but to others. The adjustment will be easier for all family members by feeling free in expressing your respective grief. In addition to your feelings of despair and loneliness; you have to lose control of your emotions. Painful as it is, it is part of the normal grieving process. However, there is also an intensifying of faith in Jesus Christ, which gives you sufficient inner strength to carry you through this difficult period.
To Mother Inez Lindsey, Members of the Family; The Death of Reverend Roosevelt Lindsey Sr. is not a blind alley that leads Him into a state of nothingness, but an open door that leads Him to eternal life and that being Fact and Reverend Roosevelt Lindsey Sr. loved the Almighty God (Elohim) & for that reason Reverend Roosevelt Lindsey Sr. is with Jesus Christ.
Finally, with the passing of time, there will be a gradual severing of Reverend Roosevelt Lindsey's thoughts and emotional ties. As you emerge from this bereavement, you will discover that you are a stronger person than you were before Reverend Roosevelt Lindsey's death, you all will have gained a deeper faith, along with increased sensitivity, and greater understanding and compassion for one another and for others.
Humbly Submitted
Senior Bishop Dr. Sam Wherry PhD/MBA
