| In Loving Memory |
| Rev. Tyrone Downing, Sr. October 18, 1957 - June 3, 2007 |
| The Broken Chain We didn't know that morning that God was going to call your name; In life we loved you dearly in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; For part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same But God calls us one by one... The chain will link again. |
| "It has been extremely painful in coping with the passing of Rev. Downing who was like a son, a brother and a friend to me. I do know that he lived to live again and with our loss, I must accept what God does because God never makes a mistake." - Rev. Weldon M. Johnson |
| "My heart was broken by the passing of my son and friend. His smile and laughter will be missed but will always remain in my heart." - First Lady Jacqueline Johnson |
| "Our tenor section in New Life Fellowship Choir has experienced a great loss. I hope the heavenly choir is ready for Rev. Downing's vocal skills! (smile) You are missed." - Darryus Johnson, Director of New Life Fellowship Choir |
| "Thank you for all the good times and for all the bad times. Thank you for all of the laughs and the late night dates to Dunkin Donuts. Over the past nine years, your life with me has helped me become the woman I am today. Your life with me will always be remembered." - LaShawn Downing |
| "Your song: God is not through Blessing you, Your prayer: Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone, Your Mighty Praises to God on the Throne...At New Life and in our hearts, memories of you will remain. As we strive to make heaven our home and see you once again. We miss you" - Sis. Leslie Jackson & Family |
| "When I was down, you made me smile. When I felt unimportant you encoarged me. When my spirit needed lifting you sang to me. I can only hope and believe you are doing the same things in heaven, but you are missed here on earth. You are always in my heart and on my mind. Love ya Rome" - Minister Jamie Jenkins |
