Dearest Lovers of God,
Greetings. I cannot close this day without writing a word in honor of Mrs.Willie Mae Simon.
Today a Homegoing service was held for a woman whom I've never met personally. This woman was the mother of my Lady E. and grandmother of my Pastor. While I did not have the pleasure of knowing her, I connected with the essence of her through the many stories my Pastor would share about his Big Momma. Right now, I am recalling how he would tell the congregation of the apple pie incident that caused him to get in trouble... Big Momma could cook he would say.
I connected with the beauty of Mrs. Willie Mae Simon (Thomasville, Georgia) through the words my Lady E., would use to describe her mother,,,
she loved the Lord, strong woman, good mother, a sense of humor. I cannot truly express the heart I had for my Big Momma in love other than to say: I thank God for the union of Willie Edward and Willie Mae in 1937. It is because of this marriage, Emma Grace was born and married C.A. Dollar and together they brought forth the seed of Creflo A. Dollar Jr. A man of God who is making a mark in the lives of millions of people the world over. A man of God who caused me to pursue God with all of my passion, heart, soul, mind and strength. I love him for that.
Big Momma and her husband and many other loved ones who preceded her are now present with Father God. Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!! To sign the Guest Book for Mrs. Willie Mae Simon go to

My grandma has been with God for quite sometime, my Muh Ollie D.and Daddy C. Brantley too ...and now they are all one in Him.
"These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them." (Revelation 7:14-15)
My heart of loved is shared with everyone who has celebrated the homegoing of a loved one.
Praise The Lord
Peace & Joy
