Widow of slain Ill. pastor points to 'celebration day'
Cindy Winters, widow of slain Illinois pastor Fred Winters, told 1,900 people who attended his funeral that Sunday, March 8, was "celebration day" for her husband and that she refuses to harbor hatred.
"Fred and I talked so many times about how God is at work here in this church doing incredible things," she said during Winters' March 13 funeral at First Baptist Church in Maryville, Ill. "Nothing has changed. Our vision and purpose still remains the same."
Winters was fatally shot while preaching at the 1,500-member Southern Baptist church east of St. Louis....
