"I look forward to serving Vance and the surrounding counties during their time of grief and sorrow providing the highest quality of professional and compassionate care available. My personal goal is to be there when grief comes to help with all the mental, emotional and physical challenges that one faces. This has been a mission of mine long before I arrived in Henderson and has certainly been my ambition while serving this community as pastor of South Henderson Pentecostal Holiness Church and now as a part of Sossamon Funeral Home. |
