My deepest condolences to the kennedy and Miller family my prayers and thoughts are with you all and aunt bobbie will be missed.
We, the members of the Statesville District A.M.E. Zion Church Women's Home and Overseas Missionary Society have suffered a great loss along with Sis Barbara Miller's immediate family and friends. She had an exceptional way of being available. Whenever the District would meet at Smyres Chapel, Sis Barbara was there to serve in every way, except for a few times of illness. One of her gifts was to make everybody feel at home and part of family. She would put her best self forward no matter how she may have been feeling. She will be surely missed from the Statesville District family! God bless you Miller family as we all strive to see her again. Mrs. Forrest H. Bonaparte - WHOMS President Rev. Dr. David R. Baker - District Presiding Elder
