Bishop Simon White; his wife, Minister Zelda White (photo, right); and four others from Joy Fellowship Christian Academies in the Bronx were killed yesterday afternoon when a rear tire on their van ruptured en route to a church event in Schenectady. 

The van spun out of control and turned over on a grassy median near Woodbury, NY. 
Eight others traveling in the van were seriously hurt.
Please keep the Joy Fellowship Christian Academies congregation and the family and friends of the Whites in your prayers as they struggle to cope with such an unimaginable loss.

    She was a beautiful person in and out; you didn’t have to ask, is that person a Christian ? You saw it from a far . She was fear honest and loved. Sorry Zelda I never had the great opportunity to tell you how much I truly love u… Your smile would always brighten up the moment and even the day…
