I remember Brother Herbert Sykes as a Christian Hearted Man who loved working with the Youth at SJMBC. He was loved and respected by everyone. After all these years, no one has been able to fill his shoes as he was one of a kind. Rest on for you have finish the work that God gave you to do. See you on the other side - The Scott-Robinson Family
