I have to start off by saying, that, this reflection is one of the hardest I have had to reflect upon in a quite a while. You see, Mrs. Mullins was not only a great person, she was my Sunday School Teacher, Mentor, and Softball Coach at Zion Baptist Church. With each and everyone one of these task, she always gave her 110% and Mrs. Mullins spread her love to each and everyone that she came in contact with her. Along beside Mrs. Mullins was a family that allowed her to spread her love unselfishly, and I thank Deacon Mullins, Johnny, Nancy and my special friend Sheila. I have alot of fond memories that I will cherish forever of your beautiful mom,(especially the way she wore her hair and how she applied her makeup so beautifully, even when we all was sweating from the heat while playing softball, Mrs. Mullins always seemed to look like a "DIVA"). I can go on and on about Mrs. Mullins. She will always be dear to my heart. Heaven is rejoicing to have a good and faithful servant like her in their presence and I am hoping that one day I will see her again.
