We are deeply saddened by Sean’s sudden departure and we express our most sincere condolences to our dear friend Eddie and the Levert family. We will continue to pray for you with the understanding that the Lord has a reason for everything he does and this was Sean’s time to go home to a better place. He will always be remembered for the gifts he shared with us.
 
We hope that the Levert family finds the courage and determination to bear this irreparable loss by knowing that Sean is on an eternal journey with God where he is singing and praising with the heavenly angels and there is joy and peace in his heart.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD LIFE

I THINK, SOMETIMES, WE LOOSE TRACK OF THE TRUE MEANING AND IN- TENT OF CHRISTMAS. WE HAVE BEEN BRAIN-WASHED, OVER THE YEARS, INTO THE BELIEF THAT CHRISTMAS IS THE SEASON TO SHOWER ONE ANOTHER WITH PRESENTS, MAKING UNWISE DECISION, GETTING INTO LONG TERM DEBT BUYING SINGLE DAY GIFTS TO OFTEN WE CAN NOT AFFORD, HENCE ”THE COMMERCIAL CHRISTMAS OF MAN”

HOWEVER THERE IS ANOTHER CHRISTMAS, WHICH CELEBRATES THE BIRTH OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS, THE CHRIST.
TRUELY SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE, NOT FOR JUST A SINGLE SEASON OR ONE DAY OF THE YEAR BUT, EACH DAY WE DRAW BREATH. HENCE, IT IS “THE RIGHTIOUS CHRISTMAS OF GOD” THAT WE ASK YOU IN CONCERT WITH US TO FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION…….

NOW OVER FORTY AND FOUR YEARS THE WHISPERS HAVE LIVED, WORKED, PLAYED AND PRAYED TOGATHER…….
WE HAVE BEEN SIMPLY, BLESSED TO MAKE A LIVING DOING WHAT WE LOVE. AND SINCE WE DID NOT CREATE OUR-SELVES, THERE IS NO QUESTION IN OUR MINDS THAT THE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE TALENTS THAT WE HAVE ARE GIFTS FROM GOD AND THEY HAVE MADE ROOM FOR US…….
BUT AS WE GIVE GOD THANKS, PRAISE AND ALL GLORY! HE MAKES IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR TO US THAT OUR TALENTS WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL WOULD SIMPLY BE OUR OPION AND OUR ABILITY TO MAKE A LIVING WITH OUT YOUR UNFAILLING SUPPORT WOULD BE AN IMPOSSI- BILITY…….

SO, ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT KNOW ALL OF YOU BY NAME, WE PRAY THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WILL BELIEVE US WHEN WE SAY-
WE LOVE YOU AND WE THANK GOD FOR GIVING US SUCH A WONDERFUL FAMILY OF FANS!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD LIFE!

Hello Everyone:

Please let the words that I tell you, educate and help you.

A few months ago, I was experiencing some shortness of breath and decided to have a full physical done. I was not expecting any bad news, but rather a simple remedy to a simple problem. I was definitely wrong. I was diagnosed with heart disease. After alerting my family and dealing with the "why me?" and the "I don't deserve this", I decided to fight back. This is certainly not the end.

I am currently recovering from surgery. With each passing day I am feeling better and look forward to returning to The Whispers very soon. I encourage all that are reading this to know and understand that there are people out there that are just like me, that have not taken the time to go to the doctor. If you love them, have them go and get checked out before it is too late. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States and account for 29% of all U.S. deaths.

As for me, I have been a Whisper for the past 35 years and I intend to continue to do so until the Lord says my time is done. I appreciate all of the kind words, flowers and prayers that I have received over this trying time. My family, friends and fans have been of the upmost support to me. Please consider my life to be just like the lyrics to " And The Beat Goes On"

"I'm still moving strong, on and on......."

With Love

The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals...not cold water...maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!!
Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware.
The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.  Read this...It could save your life!!

Whenever you think you have it bad, think of our forefathers.  Never take for granted how blessed we really are!!!!  Be blessed and productive. 

There are, fathers and grandfathers. Then there is "THE GODFATHER". Not the father of God, because God is father to himself. But the Godfather of soul "James Brown".

History will bare witness to the fact that on 05/03/33. was born into the world of music a child, who would grow up who stands alone as "THE HARDEST WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUSINESS". For over 50 of his 73 years young life, he was truly the "MASTER OF FUNK".

It's funny though? When I think of Father, I think of my dad. When I think of Grandfather, I think of my father's father. But when I think of Godfather I must admit I don't think of immediate family or that dearly loved, Christian, family friend, who sponsors a child at baptism. NO! For me, Godfather is synonymous with the one and only king of R&B; MR JAMES BROWN.

NO MATTER HOW LONG OR SHORT YOUR JOURNEY- LIFE ALWAYS ENDS TOO SOON. 

ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO TRULEY LOVE YOU- A VERY LARGE PART OF THIER HEARTS IS DOOMED. 


BUT O’ WHAT BLISSFUL MEMORIES, GERALD- IN YOUR SHORT LIFE YOU LEFT BEHIND 


LOVE SONGS AND SCENES- HOPES AND DREAMS- THAT WILL LAST US ALL A LIFE TIME. 


THANK YOU”YOUNG GERALD LEVERT”! THANK YOU!!!!!!! 


HEAVEN, PLEASE BE ON ALERT! CAUS HERE COMES YOUR WELL LOVED SON- YOUNG, GERALD LEVERT. 


WE THANK YOU FATHER FOR BLESSING US WITH HIS PRESENTS FOR AS LONG AS YOU DID.

WE KNOW, OH SO WELL, HOW PAINFUL AND HUMBLING THE LOSE OF A LOVE ONE CAN BE. 
ALTHOUGH, WE HAVE YET TO SURVIVE A CHILD, EACH OF US HAS LOST BOTH FATHER AND MOTHER. WE HAVE NO LIVING PARENTS LEFT AMONG US. 

WE SHARE THIS WITH YOU TO SAY; THAT ONLY THROUGH SINCERE BELIEF AND FAITH IN, JEHOVAH GOD ALMIGHTY AND OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, WERE WE ABLE TO FIND REST. THERE IS PEACE IN KNOWING THAT GOD, AMONG OTHER THINGS, IS POWER, JUSTICE, WISDOM AND LOVE, IN PERFECT BALANCE. WHEN YOU KNOW! THAT YOU KNOW! THAT YOU KNOW!!!!!!! THAT HIS POWER, HIS JUSTICE, HIS WISDOM AND MOST OF ALL, HIS LOVE IS FAR GREATER THAN THAT OF ANY WOMAN OR MAN, YOU TRUELY CAN LET GO AND LET GOD. 

PLEASE RECALL, JOHN 11:11, WHERE JESUS TELLS HIS DISCIPLES “OUR FRIEND LAZARUS SLEEPS, BUT I GO THAT I MAY WAKE HIM UP.” STILL LATER, KNOWING HE HAD THE POWER TO WAKE LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD, JOHN 11:35, PROFOUNDLY, YET SIMPLY STATES “JESUS WEPT.” IF WE FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS, IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR; THAT TO MOURN THE LOST OF LOVED ONES IS AN EXPRESSION OF LOVE AND SORROW AND VERY IMPORTANT TO CLEANSE THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND BEGAN TO HEAL THE PAIN AND SUFFERING POLLUTING OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. 

SO, AS YOU GO THROUGH YOUR TIME OF GRIEVANCE, PLEASE SEEK THE CONSOLE OF JEHOVAH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. 
PLEASE! DRAW CLOSE TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW CLOSE TO YOU. 
REMEMBER, PSALM 23:4: “YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF THEY COMFORT ME.” 


YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS AND OUR HEARTS! 
WE LOVE YOU!
