Mignon my prayers are with you and the family. Know that to be abssent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I know that she made these plans a long time ago. I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Bryant at Headstart as her assistant teacher many years ago. At that time I was about 21 years old not only did I learn how to be an effective leader but I also learn how to be a lady. I will always cherish our memories. I am now 50 plus and the seeds that she planned within me is still be used today. Your mother was a sweetheart and a giver and she will be miss.

Our prayers are with you Sister Mignon and your family during this time. We will miss Mother Bryant and her lovely friendly smile. God bless you all. Bishop Jones and Pastor Sharon
