To my Dear Mother Proctor.
So many times you welcomed me in your home for prayer, songs and fellowship, Pastor Kelvin and you shaped who I am today as as Christian.
Something that has lived on, and will live on, for generations to come.
You always showed kindness, the greatest was your warm genuine smile that I will never forget.
God blessed you with so much, but most of all his Joy.
Praying that your legacy will live on through all those you touched, and I look forward to seeing you again.
Your son in Christ.

Our deepest sympathies to the entire family of Mother Proctor. We have memories of her always being someone who greeted everyone with her smile. She had a way of making even a stranger feel at ease in any situation. Mother Proctor lived her Christian life exemplifying that of a role-model to others. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family. We know that she is now in the presence of the Lord, and we can confidently look forward to seeing her once again. Thank you Mother Proctor for just being you.

I will always cherish the times I spent with Mother Proctor. She supported the ministry in Turks and Caicos Islands 🇹🇨. It is almost time for my event and she will be missed.
I am glad I had a chance to pray with mother two days before she went to be with the Lord.
Love ❤️

Mother Wanda Proctor was so gentle and beautifully saved. It was so easy to love her and Missionaries Linda and Sandra. I believe the Lord has met her at heavens gate. God bless them and all the family as they travel along the King's hiway.

What a wonderful lady Mrs. Proctor was. She was always so kind, encouraging, and supportive towards me, from my high school days (a very long time ago) right up until recent memory. She was warm and gracious, hospitable, and blessed with a great sense of humour. Aside from my own personal memories of her, I want to say on behalf of the Essex County Black Historical Research Society that we will always remember our charter member and very first treasurer, Mrs. Proctor, with fondness and appreciation.
All of Mrs. Proctor's family and close friends (those I know well and those I don't know well) are in my prayers.

To the Proctor Family
I have fond memories of your mother and my mother sharing laughter about our families and sewing...all that material and thread!
Pastor Green and I are praying for your family at this time. May God continue to provide comfort and peace. 💕
