JT Pugh, Bro Barnes, Bro Cole, Bro Mahanney to name a few.
Just a little Melancholy today.

And don't forget we just lost Sis. Nona Freeman as well.
We almost lost Bro. James Kilgore not long ago.
I miss their wisdom they are taking with them.

Re: We Are Losing A Generation Of Elders
So how many positive aspects are there, in regards to the deaths of these dedicated men and women of God?

You are correct. I was just reflecting that I am now at that age where people who were icons in my early years are passing on. Both spiritual and secular ones.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

That is such a great question that I don't know if you're being wry or if you're really asking a question; but thanks for the smile. 
How many positive aspects are there in regards to death in general? I think someone had the answer, but they took it with them when their "library burned down."
