Wow!  I must admit this comes as such a shock to us as David brighten our lives every time he came around.  Oh, how I loved his Ray Charles impersonations.  David was an fun-loving, awesome, phenomenal and sweet individual who everyone loved to be around.  I really miss David.  I remember when he and his mother went to a gospel concert in Lakeland, Fl. with us on a charter bus.  The bus rocked to and fro with the comedy of David.  In addition, I miss my friend Evangelist Sanya Bandoo.  I can recall I first met them at the book sale at the Holiday Inn West in Gainesville.  We clicked from the start!  I can even recall how she blessed our hearts on the radio.  Miss Bandoo subsequently joined the Widow's Wings ministry of Upper Room Ministries where we had an opportunity to wrap our loving arms around her.  We were just as blessed to have her and David around.  She would sing and speak words of inspiration. 

In closing, again I am shocked but one thing that I am very aware of and that is David is in good hands with the Lord.  I am sure the Lord welcomed him with open arms, because his beloved David finally came home.  How fitting David?  A name that means, "Beloved."  A man who loved many and beloved by many.

Evangelist Bandoo, please contact us at kanderson@sunshinebroadcasting.com or 352-339-3851.  I really want to talk with you and continue to wrap our loving arms around you.

Love,

Just a Poem For You!!

To Mom Bandoo,

I want to thank you for being the instrument that God used to make a difference in my life. The way God worked for you to connect with the Maloney family will always be a special miracle for me. When Peter and I were working together in NYC he spoke of his special mother who had a true relationship with God. He spoke of his miracle brother. That God would bring us together some seventeen years later is a clear sign that God is in control of all things and his hand is on his children. I must tell you that David and Peter shared the same conversation with me regarding a Mom that has true faith. David felt blessed from God to have you be his Mom. Your faith walk inspired him and  many others. You told me that "Joy comes in the morning".  Thanks for being a part of many of my mornings. 

It is now 4:am Saturday morning,  I am sitting  at the table across from the chair that you last sat on.  I remember how you lifted your hands to heaven, and thanked the Lord,  after you told me that you blacked out.   You said "thank you Jesus, thank you Lord".  Then you said "thank you mom for being here for me, Oh I love you mom, I need a tall cool drink of water, help mom".  I ran and embraced you, trying to call 911, weeping as I saw you in such distress, I cried out to God to help you, as God wisely loosened my grip on you.

I remember how it hurt to sit in the front of the Ambulance, while you rode in the back desperately sick , and needing your mother's touch.  It hurt's to even think of it today.

It is the morning of the 21st. day since you slipped away from my touch, my hugs, my loving care that you someties could'nt bear because I did not let you have your way, you had to do what you were told. why?, because obedience was better than sacrafice of your health and well being, and obedience to our glorious Father God.

Your life required that you stay on a schedule 365 days a year 24/7.  Yes it as hard sometimes, and I wish you did not have to go through the hard olaces that you had to thread but now it is over, and the Lord is fulfilling His word to you on every level, that I can only imagine. 

Peter and I came home at 10:pm from Georgia quite shaken because we passed your resting place, and was reminded that you would not be coming home with us anymore. But most of all, we were spared a head -on collission with another car going north in our south bound lane on the I-75.

.At exactly 7:30 pm

  We would have welcomed being with you if God would have it so, but the hedge of  God's devine protection that was securrely around us , kept us from sure tragedy.

Remembering your joy,and zest for life, we are happy to carry on  our Father's Kingdom work, doing what you are not able to do on earth anymore.

You are ever present in my heart, I remember the sunshine you brought on my cloudy days.  You were my ray of sunshine, night and day, you taught me so many valuable lessons, you taught me how to smile and have fun, and enjoy my christianity

I wished I could have showed you more of Christ's love, and compassion, I just wished I could have given you more of Christ and less of me.  All that is settled now, you have the utmost of what God created you for.  I am so happy for you, I  miss you darling son, dancing, and singing.  The house is so quiet now, when we get to heaven we'll sing and dance before the Lord , giving our all in worship and praise eternally. 

I'll go before the Lord in prayer now, I believe you will see, and hear me well.  You'll see I am still weeping, with great hope, and faith to see you well again.

  It is 4:41:am.  I remember every day of your life that we spen together, it was designed just for us by our Lord. 

 There was not one day that you did not hear the word of God in yourear, not one day that reverence to God was not displayed to you.  You are in His presence now, worship in freedom, with no constraints of time. Oh! Jesus is worthy , I ask no questions, I'll just work dilligently, faithfully in the field, until we meet at Jesus feet. - 4:52:am
