Ms. Wallington was a mainstay in the Kitchen of Bethany Baptist Church preparing food for repasts and other events at the church. She left us to go to Springhill, but we understood. It did not make us love her any less. We know that wherever she was, she was doing The Lord’s Work. May you be comfroted in knowing that we loved her, but God loved her best. She is seated at His Throne waiting on her reward. We must prepare ourselves so we can meet her again in Heaven. May God Bless and Keep you in His Precious Care.
