Hello Cheryl, John, and Ron. You all are in my prayers. I will cherish the times I had when visiting Vada. We had some wonderful conversations. My memory of Vada shall be in how she could trace the Providential hand of God in her life – in good times and bad ones. On days she was struggling, whenever she heard a verse of Scripture, she would have a peace come over her. She will be sorely missed. – Pastor Mahlon.

Ron, Sheila, Cheryl, John, Diane & Family, on behalf of all of us here at New Hope Baptist Church we want to say we are so sorry to hear about the loss of Vada. She was such a nice lady and I am so glad I got to know her. I remember Sheila when you and Ron had her 90th birthday party for her and invited all her family and friends and I am so glad I was there to celebrate it with her. Praying for all of you that GOD will give you peace and comfort you in the days ahead.
Love and Prayers Carol Bray and all of us here at New Hope Baptist Church.
