“ Brother Bendon,
My brother from another mother. One of the last things you ever said to me. God blessed my life by allowing a young coach to be visited on North Jackson Street in Brookhaven, Ms. in the fall of 1986 by such a good caring man as you. I’ve kept in touch through the years but not as much as I wished I could have. Our jobs took us in different directions but when anyone asked me, “Who is your Pastor?”, my answer was always Bendon Ginn is my pastor and then I would tell them who my current preacher was. You were a mans pastor that always knew the right things to say at the right time. That’s a true “Gift of God “. I had two dreams about you the last couple of weeks that you were with us. You were preaching both times in your pulpit standing tall and teaching God’s Word. I’m so glad that Erin got to hear her last sermon here on earth and you preached it. God bless you and Ms. Dot and your family. I will see you again one day in heaven my brother.
Coach Mike Smith ”
