Esther was always a bright spot in my day at the YMCA where I meet her. We had many journeys together. I loved it when she dressed up and when to schools to share about the Underground Railroad, attended the Commonwealth Prayer meetings together and twice came to my home for Thanksgiving when her husband was hunting. I love you Esther. See you soon, save me a seat at The Table.

Our heartfelt prayers and condolences are extended to the Smith. Sister Smith was one of the sweetest and kindest ladies we have ever met. We have missed seeing her and Brother Lester in church. As members of the Triumphant Baptist Church family, we grieve with you. And, like you, we rejoice that she´s received her "well done" and is at home with our Heavenly Father! May He strengthen and comfort each of you.
