Sister Jodie White. This Pastor and the membership of the Friendship Missionary Baptist Church join Sister Donna White and the members of the White family in mourning the loss of this dear lady. We thank God for the outstanding life and the legacy of this quiet lady with a warm, generous, and loving spirit. When you were in the presence of “Ms. Jodie”, you knew you were in the presence of royalty. (This Pastor always referred to Sister Jodie affectionally as “Ms. Jodie”)
Truly, “Ms.” Jodie was a proverbs thirty-one woman. Can’t you see her in: verse 26: “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness”. We praise God for the wisdom and the kindness that was “Ms. Jodie”. Verse 28: “Her children arise up, and call her blessed;” Wherever Sister White was, there was happiness and joy. Verse 30: “Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised”.
In a summary fashion, Sister Jodie White was a quiet, and loving person with a smile that warmed your heart. She had a loving reverence for God that was reflected in her submission to His lordship and the adherence to His Word.
To Sister Donna, thank you for your faithfulness to your mother and to our heavenly Father. What a loving example you are of “Honor thy father and thy Mother”. You are indeed the personification of faithfulness. God bless you.
Pastor J. Amos Jones
