Ora D. Stevens, President The Reverend Robert Willingham, Jr., Pastor
She was very unselfish having me to play for many thing at her church, in my 35 years.
Our devoted member, the late Sister Edith King Flakes, has rendered most valuable services to our church. No member in our history has served with a greater degree of dedication, integrity and sincerity. We cannot appraise adequately the value of her service, but it far exceeds any honor that we are bestowing upon her memory today. This is the reason her electrifying personality has been elevated for the watching centuries to observe.
