Vernelle, Malvin and the Family, I am so deeply sorry to learn of Deaconess Edwards passing. I admired her from afar and did miss seeing her at church in her classy, beautiful outfits and, seeing her pleasant smiling face. I did not know she wasn't well. My heart is saddened when I think of her passing. Vernelle, stay strong and beautiful as you are, brother Cousins, I will continue to pray for your smile again. I am so sorry I could not be there for her funeral, but please know that my heartfelt spirit was there.

May GOD continue to BLESS your entire family.
Church Clerk
