I've know david for over two two decades, I have not seen him in years but I still remember that magical smile that generated so much happiness.  David had gone through so much pain and physical challenges throuhout his life But Davide loved the Lord and trusted with all his heart.  God kept him until He called him home. 

From Abraham, Janette, Gabriella and Judy 

A friend, a brother, ad a son, you'll be missed for days to come.  Fly away my brother, fly away.  I never thought this day would come, when I would have to say goodbye.  You're a "Hall of Famer" in our hearts today, leavng behind loving thoughts that will live on.

 

You've touched many hearts in our 29 years.  Our eyes are filled with tears, wishing you were here.  You've graduated to a level that we are trying to reach, a place that you will shine, leaving all your problems behind.  Fly my brother, fly.  Fly into the arms that have been holding you all this time.

 

This is not what we had in mind.  We wanted more of you.  Wishing we could turn back the hands of time, if only we could repeat the days of yesterday and rewind the memories of all the years you've left behind.  We would laugh, play, pray together as if it were today.  You'll be missed, but not forgotten.  It's so hard to say goodbye. 

 

My heart is filled with sorrows, but overflowing with love for you.  You are definitely one of a kind.  Mr. David Edward Sabastian Bandoo, I just wanted to say we love you and miss you too. 

 

Farewell little brother, farewell.

 

 

Philippians 1:2
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Bandoo Family,

May the peace of God shower you as you go through the pain of missing David.  God will give you peace that surpasseth all understanding that will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.) In other words, he will give you peace even when it does not make sense for you to have peace. 

 

In closing, I know it does not make for you to have peace right now but God is powerful enough to give it you.  If you can believe it, then you can receive it.

 

Peace,

 

Pastor Karl "The Rev" Anderson

 

 Philippians 4:9
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Sonia, It has been a long time.  I recently spoke to Brenda Henderson and she informed me of your son's homegoing.  You are a wonderful mother and I am so moved by the amount of compassion and love poured out from all the members of your family.  It is a testimony.  In case you have forgotten me.  I was a member of Brooklyn Tabernacle in the late 70's and the early 80's.  I married Lloyd Jones in 1983. (My maiden name was McGrady)  We had our first born in 1984.  You were our first babysitter. Our firstborn's nickname was C.J.  Lloyd was the first band director for Carol Cymbala.  I was very good friends of Ben Harney, Olive Harney, Brenda Henderson, Brenda Davis,Earl Miller, Jonette Miller, and (of course) you.  Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of David.  What a testimony!!  His living was not in vain.  Much love and prayers to you and your family. Love, Margaret  P.S.  I have 4 children. (Cee Jay 23, Matthew 18, Callister 16, and Victoria 9)  We are living in Fort Washington, MD.  Lloyd is an ordained pastor.  His responsibilities are over the Music and the Performing Arts ministries.  I am a licensed minister and have been teaching elementary school for past 12 years.  Lloyd and I travel and perform our original music and poetry as a couple.
