Mrs. Mary Ann, It's been years since worshipping with you at Second Baptist, but when we saw this we wanted to let you know that we are so sorry for you and your family. We had such a good church family when Bro. James Guthrie was there. There are a lot of good memories. One of them is how much we loved you and how you never said no and worked so hard at everything we were doing. God Bless You, Our Sweet Sister in Christ! The years we were at Second Baptist were the best years of our lives.
