    New Zion Temple Ministries loved Mother Spann and she will definitely be missed. We know that she is free from all the pain and is rejoicing in heaven with her dear friend Mother Watson. Much Love and Prayers for her family.

    Jesus loves you more than we ever could. My heart is torn. Part of me mourns while the other part rejoices that your journey has led you to Jesus. Your transition from earth to glory is exactly what the faithful hope for. To say that everyone who knew you will miss you is an understatement. I miss your smile. Your prayers. Your love. Your wisdom. You’re simply the best. Truly one of a kind. Enjoy Jesus ❤️✝️

    Words can not express, because words are never adequate in moments so tender as this accassion.I pray that the Spann family, friends & all who related to mother finds the peace, loving kindness & comfort in which she has displayed through her life toward us. Be that it may, be the same tranquility expressed for the family in the days ahead. God bless you all as mother Spann will be missed tremendously.

    You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I loved this lady to pieces, she was a beautiful, one of a kind soul, with a brilliant flare, and I was blessed to have gotten to know her. Cheri, Brianna, Austin, and Justin, I pray the Lord will ease your pain and suffering throughout this difficult time.

    Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

    To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, just knowing that Mother Spann, such a beautiful spirit is in the presence of the Lord, gives me joy and peace. She has always been a great inspiration to the New Zion Temple Family, seeing her smile and style, she is forever loved, greatly missed and forever in our hearts. Thank you God for the time you allowed us to graced with her presence..
