Sis Bertha Malone was one of the kindest and most supportive members that I have ever pastored. I Thank God that he allowed me to watch over her and her sister's (Iona Ates) souls for several years. It was an honor and a pleasure to serve them. She will be missed. Our prayers are with your family. "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy" (Jude 1:24 KJV). God bless you. Pastor E E Roberson.
