Condolence From: Kevin W. Thorbourne
Condolence: Prayers and condolences to his family and friends, at this very late date. I just found a tape of his radio show on WWRL which includes his co-host Donna Wilson. Their guest was Dr Ben, and this was one of his best shows. I was able to convert the tape to MP4 and will post it on YouTube, in the public and historical interest. May he rest in peace.

Condolence: Bishop Del was the best man at my wedding in Los Angeles 1970. I was a lawyer at the time turned to Gospel ministry. I have tried to locate Del for several years without success. Please contact me in order that I might provide you with information that he and I shared. During our friendship, ministry was never on our horizons. But God!

Condolence From: Albert Taylor
Condolence: to the family of Bishop Shields, the first time I met this man was during save our children in 1987 I was hungry, angry, lonely, tired. the streets had beat me up bad. my mother ,(mother Taylor) told me pastor Shield was the man who could help me. during that time it wasn't many programs for people like me. but this man took man as one of his own with love, understanding, and no judgment. Stayed not only for that situation but took time out of his busy schedule to follow up on my progress. during this time He pray with my mother and ensure her and my dad that he would help us get past this. this man stayed true to his word. and did so up to his going home. I love this man. a true friend, pastor, bishop,and church father. there will never be another like him. I thank God for letting us borrow him for as long as he did. and to his daughters lets continue to keep them in our prayers. Albert Taylor (Mother Taylor's)son. Zion Gospel church. in

Hold dear in your heart that your father, my father-inlaw was a brilliant, accomplished and well known man who loved our Lord. He touched the lives of many individuals both near and far. Our Father called his child home to rest from these earthly shores. May God bless his soul.

Condolence: To the family of Bishop "Del" Shields;
We knew him years ago at WWRL Radio as the announcer known as "Del Shields." He led the organization known as Save The Children and interacted with our WWRL Community Chorale for many years.
We thank God for his life and his accomplishments and our relationship with him. We will forever be blessed by who he was and will always be.
I would love to receive a programme as I will be out of the country at the time of the services. I am on facebook: phylissmckoyjoubert, or 973 204 8069.
God Bless you,
Ms. Phyliss McKoy Joubert
Director, The WWRL Community Chorale

Condolence: Dear Daddy
I will never stop missing or loving you. I didn't say it or show it enough and wish I could hear you once more say, You know how much I love you and your sisters. You gave me so much wisdom and some I still have friends share. As a child you would proudly take us to radio station and sit under a tree and talk with us and make us laugh. I remember your brown Chevy and how you would drive us down swirling roads and rides you would give us or take us to places to have fun. You were so easy to talk to and I could cry with you when hurting. You also gave your share of fatherly discipline and direction that I didn't appreciate until later in life. I Learned you were very wise. I keep holding on to our last call two weeks ago and how you would always answer Hey Baby and ask about how my life is and remind me to keep trusting God. We had a period in life where circumstances separated us but what is most important is where we ended up and the wonderful father daughter relationship we recovered. I can go thru this life comforted by the fact that my father loved me, made me feel special, danced with me, talked with me, prayed for and with me and brought joy to my life. I have shed tears but comforted that you are in bosom of Lord. Thank you for being my father. Thank you for all the lives you touched. I will see you again one day.
