When we feel we have nothing left to give And we are sure that the "song has ended"When our day seems over and the shadows fall And the darkness of night has descended.
Where can we go to find the strength To valiantly keep on trying,
Where can we find the hand that will dry The tears that the heart is crying-
There's but one place to go and that is to God And, dropping all pretense and pride,
We can pour out our problems without restraint And gain strength with Him at our sideAnd together we stand at life's crossroads And view what we think is the end, But God has a much bigger vision And He tells us it's only a bendFor the road goes on and is smoother, And the "pause in the song" is a "rest", And the part that's unsung and unfinished Is the sweetest and richest and bestSo rest and relax and grow stronger, Let go and let God share your load, Your work is not finished or ended, You've just come to "a bend in the road". -Helen Steiner Rice-

&It
Perhaps you sent a lovely card, Or sat quietly in a chair;
Perhaps you sent beautiful flowers, If so, we saw them there.
Perhaps you sent or spoke kind words As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not at all Just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to console our hearts, hank you so much, whatever the part.

Bishop D ale C. Bronner, Founder/Senior Pastor
On December 7, 2012, Our Lord came into the garden and picked the flower known as Dionne Fairley Veale. Dionne was born September 5, 1947 to the late John D. Fairley and Marie Waye Fairley in Camden County, Georgia.
At an early age Dionne accepted Christ as her savior and was baptized by the late Reverend Nathaniel Tyler Lloyd in Bronx, New York. In her adult life, Dionne was a member of Faith Worship Cathedral, where the Bishop Dale C. Bronner is Senior Pastor.
Dionne was educated in the New York Public School System and continued her academic pursuit at Tennessee State University. While at Tennessee State University, Dionne discovered the sisterhood of her beloved Delta Sigma Theta. Through the years, Dionne helped many a friend cross the line into that sisterhood. She graduated from Tennessee State University in 1970 having earned a Bachelor's ofArt in Business Administration.
With that knowledge she quickly began her career path with IBM, as a Consultant. She diligently worked for that company for twenty years, taking an early retirement in 1992. After retiring from IBM, armed with a vision and a prayer, Dionne became the Founder and CEO of Automation Consulting Services, Inc. This entrepreneurial spirit led her to discover the world offatherhood in Dekalb County. In her role as Program Director for the DeKalb County Fatherhood Initiative Network, she helped many young men and their families during her tenure and became affectionately known as "Mother Fatherhood."
As for family, this was the most important aspect ofher life. She had four loving sisters, with whom she had a special relationship, Janie Terry, Phyllis Cole, Cheryl Flowers, and Elyce Gamble. Her nieces: Deneer (Donald) Hudley, Trese Flowers, Danielle (Robert) Chambliss, and Lauren (Frank) Jones. Her nephews: Gregory (Tushanna) Cole, Jr., and Trevor Flowers. And, the love of her life and joy of her heart her mother Marie.
She also leaves to cherish her memories two god-daughters: Bria Butler and her namesake Dionne Shelton, one godson: Jamal Costner, and her god-brother Warren Jacobs.
Dionne also leaves to cherish her memories a host of grand-nieces and nephews, other relatives, friends, colleagues, and her sisters of Delta Sigma Theta.
