Monday, at 2 p.m., services were held for Mrs. Edith White Ming at Big Bethel in Atlanta, Georgia.

"The service for Mrs. Ming was indeed a worshipful affair," reports Presiding Elder Carolyn Tyler Guidry, who was in attendance for the service.

"It was complete with magnificent music including a medley of her favorite hymns," Elder Tyler Guidry continued.

That part of the service seemed extremely appropriate considering how much of Mrs. Ming's life was devoted to music.

Presiding Elder Tyler Guidry  continued, "Bishop Frank Cummings (Presiding Prelate of the 6th Episcopal District) preached a masterful sermon using 2 Corinthians 4:16 as background."

"Tributes came from every area of the A.M.E. Church,"  Presiding Elder Tyler Guidry added. "The tributes were concluded with a beautiful tribute given in behalf of the family by her niece Ms. Patricia Hathaway, Esq. of Jersey City, New Jersey"

We thank Elder Carolyn Tyler Guidry for being our eyes and ears at the Atlanta service for Mrs. Edith White Ming.  Wednesday (today) services will be held for Mrs. Ming at St. Matthew's in Philadelphia. A.M.E. Today will carry a report from this service at its conclusion.  Check the site often today for the report.
