Vicki Burse, the COO of COGIC, Inc’s Publishing House, is waiting for justice 7 months her son was fatally shot in Memphis, TN. She desires to ensure her son’s story is not forgotten. The suspect, Bandrecius Farmer, is currently out on a $100,000 bond. The bond was met after the judge reduced the bond by $200,000. Regarding the suspect’s release Vicki Burse said “What she said when she lowered it, was, ‘I don’t think he’s going to be able to make it anyway.’ Well guess what, he did make it and he’s home.â€
Please remember to pray for Vicki Burse. She spent Thanksgiving and Christmas at the cemetery and, as any mother can understand, she is having a hard time dealing with the death of her son. We pray that God will strengthen her and fortify her faith and resolve in this hour of her life.

Praying for comfort and strength in your time of grief.
Mother Burse,
I pray that the Lord comfort you in this season of mourning, and encourage you as vengeance is the Lord´s. We have all seen the Lord work in miraculous ways and know that he can do so now as well. I pray that the Lord will continue to wrap His arms of compassion around and flood you with the warmth of His love as He shines on you during this encounter.
Prayerfully, Elder Campbell

Your heart is heavy and you sorely miss your child I'm sure. It is hard to make sense of it – what purpose is served by something like this? Your mind if filled with so many questions. I pray that God comfort and help you as only he can. Love, P. Dukes

Mother Burse, I am praying that God will give you the strength that you need to make it through this very difficult time in your life. I cannot say that I know how you feel, but I can say that I have been in a similar situation. I lost my grandson of 14 years old to suicide in 2012. I am still praying everyday that God will keep me and my family strong and our faith will not waver. Please Mother Burse know that God is with you and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Much Love.

Sister Vicki, I understand what you are going through now. My oldest granddaughter, Veronica Godwin, was murdered by her boyfriend Nov 10, 2011 and we have not yet been to trial. You must continue to fight for justice. You can request a bail hearing and increase back to the $200,000. Don't let this go. That murderer will kill again and needs to be off the street. I will be praying for you and your family.
Sister Vicki,
The prayers of the righteous availeth much, we had death in our family, and understand your pain. My sister's demise Evangelist Brenda L. Austin, and I had a wonderful nephew that was murdered, and his wife severall years ago. There is not sorrow that Heaven can not heal. God will take you though this time of sorrow, and turn your mourning into dancing. Praise God, even though you do not feel like doing this, because He is yet in control, and understands because his son was killed,crucified on calvary, and suffered. Our prayer are with you, and you are going to make it through. The Lord will replace the heaviness with the garment of praise .
We love you, and so does God.

Hello
Jesus will! Rest in The Lord!
Does anyone know where this case currently stand? It’s been a year and we still haven’t heard any updates about this case. Justice should be served for those who do wrong. The Bible says “Thou shall not kill” and Yes we are to forgive. But it doesn’t mean that we aren’t supoose to want justice for thise who are no longer with us.
Continuing to pray your strength in God. Please be comforted with the love and fond memories of your son Barry Burse Jr.
