As a way to say goodbye people write their goodbyes on the walls. One message reads this: "This church allowed God to save my heart, this church allowed me to always feel loved. This church showed me that when the weight of the world was on my back, I was never alone. This church showed me the man who loved me unconditionally. This church showed me that love is not hard to find and love is not hard to give. This church forever holds a place in my heart!
