Preacher Loving was always so good to our family. We knew we would see him when our family suffered a loss of a loved one. He made time for anyone who needed a kind word or prayer. I am so sad to hear of his passing.

We, the family of Roy & Annie Ivey, just found out about Rev. Loving passing away.  My sister, Betty Ann, and I grew up in Springfield Pentecoastal Holiness Church.  We all loved Helenand the entire family. Every Christmas he would come by my parents house in a Santa Claus Suit. Needless  to say we all looked forward to that!
Condolences to all the family.  He is walking now on streets of gold!

Virginia Ivey Taylor, Kelly Taylor, Monty Taylor, Betty Ivey Peavy and Maria Peavy. Much love to all the family!

I am so sad to hear this. What a good man with a great family. Played lots of golf with him and Daniel. Know that I am keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers.

Allen, Cathy and family I am so sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers that God will wrap His arms around you and comfort you.

Preacher Loving was for many years the backbone of missions for the IPHC especially the SC division. His heart was in missions and those called to work the missions field. He constantly worked on its support. Over the many years of preaching he had several nuggets as he called them and even published  a book. I pray that the conference and the IPHC will honor him in some way for his many years of service!

Brother Loving was with us several times at our church. Will always hold those services close to my heart. He was an awesome man of God. Sister Helen we send you our love 
and prayers. A member of New Life church in Wadesboro. NC.

Dear Sis Loving  and family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. 

It was such an honor and blessing to hear Bro Loving preach for us at Nazareth P H Church. He was such an anointed speaker and a wonderful man of God. 

May our Father surround you all with His peace that passes all understanding  until you are reunited again in Heaven!!

Rev Bill Loving  and his family are very special to our family!!!! Great Man of GOD!!!!

Will always have memories of our friendship and conversations.  He was a wonderful Minister, Pastor, and friend.

Pastor Bill was always a delight to be around. You could tell he was a godly man always praising God and witnessing to others. I always enjoyed his preaching when he would come to our church and preach. Also enjoyed the times that him and Ms. Helen would join us on our once a month a outings at local restaurants. he would always bring a small gift for everyone whether it be a 2-dollar bill (which he was popular for) or a gift card to a local restaurant. It's great to know that he is in heaven now reaping his reward. WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT ENTER INTO THE JOYS OF THY LORD!!!

So sorry to hear about the passing of Preacher Loving. You are all in our prayers.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family.

I had the privilege of dining with Brother Billy and his brother Robbie Scott and Sister Joy Aughtry a few years ago at The Olive Garden. We had a precious time together. Billy is seeing Jesus Christ face to face now. He's resting in God's arms. This gives you, the family great comfort. Walk with God, children so one day you'll meet him again. God bless you.

I live in Laurinburg and met Pastor Loving years ago through one of my co-workers at Scotland Memorial Hospital, Melbie Smith.  He was a wonderful man of God, and he was always smiling whenever I saw him. I think of him every time i go past where his church in Laruel Hill used to be. I will always remember him...I know he's praising the Lord right now!!!
I'm sorry for your loss, but we know that  no one needs to be sad for him!!!!

My condolences to you Ms loving and all the rest of the family I was truly touched by preacher loving while he was my pastor at Springfield Pentecostal. I never seen a man without a smile on his face and he was always willing to listen I not only considered him my pastor but I do truly consider him a true true friend and if possible even family. All My children grew up under his tutelage as their pastor he is a man that will be truly missed again my condolences to everyone in my prayers go out with everyone. 

If there is any man that is in heaven he most definitely would be one I don't think I ever heard him speak a harsh word or anything against anyone and he was always grateful and thankful for anything to anybody gave him.

Sorry to hear about Pastor Loving. Prayers for his family. When he was in Laurinburg my mom went to his church probably 40 years. He and Sister Loving would always come by and visit with my mom. She recently passed so I’m sure they will be talking soon.

Helen, our prayers go out to you, Allen, Daniel , and Melissa. We love all of you. Your brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Robbie Scott and Joy Aughtey

To the Loving family.  Our hearts mourn the loss of Brorher Bill with you all, but rejoice in the fact he’s reached the finish line!  He’s now enjoying all that Heaven holds for him.

We are keeping you all close in our hearts and minds, and prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time.     Much Love,

Our world just got a little dim because we have lost a shining light!!! Mrs. Helen and family, I am so sorry to hear of Rev. Loving's passing. Bro. Bill was in a league all by himself. There was and probably never will be another like him. He was God's gift to everyone who knew him. He has been a friend of our family for more than 50 years as he and my dad served the Lord together for many of those years in the SC IPHC conference. They have probably already hugged and are sitting by the river just cooling their heels!!! Mrs. Helen, we loved Bro. Bill so much as well as you and you all are in our prayers. 
Love and prayers,
Rodney and Nita Quick

So sorry to hear about Preacher Loving passing. He is now once again visiting my mom and dad and granny Jones and rejoicing along with them. He was so good to visit them when their health got so bad that they couldn’t leave the house. Always bringing along some candy, especially the cow tales we all loved so much. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later! Much love to Ms Helen, Allen, Daniel & Melissa!

Dan and Leslie, so very sorry to see the passing of Dan’s dad.  I enjoyed meeting him when many of us headed to Mississippi after Katrina had hit.  I still have the $2 bill he gave me, plus the memory of meeting such a sweet guy.  He radiated the love of Jesus!  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. ❤️🙏🏻
