Mrs. Nickens dauntlessly assumed the taxing position of Clerk of our church. She and I leaned on each other's knowledge and experience to perform our areas of responsibility in service to God's church. She was always responsive and prompt to address my requests, and I thank God for her dedication and devotion. Deacon Anthony Robinson, Providence Park Baptist Church
