My thoughts and prayers go out to the Felder family and friends. My heart is saddened to hear the news of Bro Felders passing. May the lord strengthen and comfort you all through this difficult time…. Bishop DD JonesÂ
My thoughts and prayers are with my cousins FeFe and Tanya. I ask God to wrap his arms around both of them in this time of bereavement. I am so so happy that I got a chance to see my cousin Clarence “Pete” just 2 years ago when he came to visit his family here in Washington DC. Pete was a close cousin with my mom “Cleo” and both my uncles Bill and Bobby who all have passed on. As a kid, I was often reminded of the fun that those cousins shared as kids growing up. Know you all are back together again in heaven listening to some Marvin Gaye, the Temptations and Otis Redding in the pearly gates, having a good time free from fears of this scary Covid 19 virus. RIP Cousin Pete. You will be greatly missed. Brigitte “Buffy” Tapp, Washington DCÂ
Sister Tanya and family George and I will continue to lift you up in prayer. We love Mr. Felder he was like family to us. We will miss that smile. We know we will see him again in that great getting up morning in heaven! â¤ï¸
This is not a memory, but more of a statement of gratitude thanking Mr. Felder for his years of service to the people, the community, the and the country. I was a student in one of his accounting classes at St. Philip’s College many years ago, and I had no idea that he had accomplished and contributed so much until I actually read his obituary today. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
