Special Thanks
BLUEFIELD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER & Staff
Dr. Pablo Carpio, M.D & Staff
Members of the Apostolic Assembly of Jesus Christ, Visitors, Family & Friends
We cannot find the words to say for the love and support extended to the family of Pastor, Carl Kennedy during our recent loss.
Many of you were supportive of his ministry, stood or sat by his bedside listening to his testimonies. You offered compassion and concern to a man that loved the Lord with all his heart. He felt the need to share his knowledge and knew his hours and moments were limited. During his sickness he continued to preach, testify and witness about the Lord to anyone that would take the time to listen. We want each of you to know how you touched his heart.
Most of his last days and hours were spent with the staff at Bluefield Regional Hospital. He felt God placed him in your care and you became his sheep and he was your shepherd at heart for a very short period of time. On June 15, 2009 he was called home to be with the Lord and he is a Rose of Sharon in the heavenly garden that is now his new home. He became a rose bud and will bloom forever with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He said you will forget my face but let my words speak for me. He wanted you to remember the words of knowledge that God revealed to him and appreciated all the wonderful care he received but most of all the moments of preaching, teaching, witnessing and serving the Lord in his last hours.
The family of Pastor, Carl Kennedy, the Preacher of Love at the Apostolic Assembly of Jesus Christ, Tazewell, Virginia, would like to extend special thanks for your devoted brotherly support, friendship, love, kindness, consideration and medical care given to our precious daddy.
During our last moments we were blessed to have the staff at Bluefield Regional Medical Center. He received the best care possible. The staff was compassionate, caring and understanding to his children, family and friends. We will treasure the time you so graciously permitted us in his last hours. Special thanks goes out to Dr. Carpio, M.D of Tazewell Virginia and Ms. Rosa lee Law, Bluefield Regional Hospital, nurse that sang so beautifully during his hospital stay and funeral. He is loved and will be missed by his family and friends.
Sincerely,
Family of Pastor, Carl Kennedy
