To Phyllis and family My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time. I remember Sis. Baker at Southern MB Church in Syracuse singing in the choir the secretary working with the missionary society the Deaconess and also a musician at one time. She was a wonderful person always pleasant and willing to lend a hand wherever she was needed. She was missing once she moved away and I'm sure she continued on her spiritual journey in Ga. Continue to lift your eyes to the hills from whence your help comes from. God bless Love Evelyn Bradshaw Syracuse,NY
