Sending sincere condolences to the Temple Family. Deacon Ronald & Deaconess Regina Austin of Cartersville, Virginia. (Pleasant View Baptist Church, Pastor Clifford Temple)

To First Lady Temple, the children, grandchildren, relatives, friends, and The Parker's Grove Church Family. We send our deepest condolences to you all in the loss of an amazing, and much right Man of God. Pastor Temple was and remains a dear mentor in our lives. Several years ago, when we first started in Ministry, Pastor Temple's wisdom and encouragement was monumental in our lives. When we were at Parker's Grove, if there was room in the pulpit, he was sure to always call me up to sit there, even when my nerves would have me remain in the audience. Each time I/we spoke to him his wisdom was phenomenal. He and First Lady will always hold a place in our hearts. First Lady, Family, and Church Family and friends, stand on the Word that declares that God will not leave us comfortless. Jesus Christ is here in spirit to connect with our spirit, and heal the broken hearted and bind up every wound. We love you with the love of God and will continue to pray your strength in the Lord. If there is anything we can do, we are here.

With Sincerity and the love of God,

Pastors James & Regina Alexander Glen Allen, Virginia
