As one of our most cherished ladies who attended our church services, Christ Betrothed Ministry, we extend our heartfelt sympathy to her loving family. Micleta was one of the kindness, precious ladies I have ever met. Through all her trials, she always smiled, had a kind word and blessed me every time I spoke with her. She was quiet but her smile and eyes said it all. I will never forget Micleta Dailey. It was my pleasure to be a part of the services and a part of what we called the CBM Glade Valley Church. I never knew she worked with SAIC-Leidos which I did also and our paths never crossed. Oh how I wished I had met her there, I know we would have been friends. Be comforted in knowing she was a precious soul and her smile spoke volumes to those around her. Blessings, Linda
