I remember Supt. Liggins and his hospitatlity, especially on the day of the Annual Breakfast at Evangelistic Crusaders banquet hall. He would make "the rounds" of all tables and remembered all of my children's names from when they were tots. (They are now grown and in their 50's!) Eld. Liggins was their Sunday School teacher at Roberts Temple many years ago.



My sincerest sympathies to Mother Georgia, Rita, and the entire Liggins and Church Family.



With Love, Othel V. Roberts

There no words to express my feelings for the loss of this man who was my pastor and friend. His wisdom in helping me with lifes problems, and some times just knowing the right words to say to me. First, the death of Mamie Mobley was a shock, and now the death of Pastor Liggins. My condolances to the family and the church.
