Presided and Preached my Mother’s Eulogy

Last year, 2025 I decided to run for mayor of Mobile, AL. As I developed my campaign material I decided to label myself by the highest position in life I had obtained. And that was Pastor…

And in 2004 was my greatest accomplishments as Pastor. I was asked to preach our Mother’s eulogy by my younger sister, and only living sibling Mrs. Elizabeth (Banks) White.

An Easy Task?

This was actually an easy task. You see our Mother was the most faithful member of the Prichard, AL outreach church that I pastored. And our relationship had flipped in her actions toward me. My Mother seemed to allow Pastor to trump Mother.

The week before the LORD graduated her to eternity she discussed a matter with me that had her upset. And at my word, she dropped her head in repenting pryor. And I was amazed that this woman that made me think she hated me during some those whippings of my youth was now asking God to forgive her because of my words.

WHEN I GRADUATE TO ETERNITY

Put somewhere on my grave marker, “He preached Mother (Mrs.) Corine (McKinney) Banks’ Eulogy”.
