My prayers and condolences are with the Medlock family at this time

Mother Medlock and her husband Rev Medlock was my parents Rev. & Mrs. Blakely two good HOLY friends.m mom was a member of Friendship Baptist as well. Mother Medlock was a joy to see every Sunday morning ushering greeting members and guests. I always seen her smile and says uplifting words to me since she knew I have anointed gifts upon my life. Her husband would visit my father to chat about how they were blessed to have two faithful women on their sides who cooked delicious meals three times a day. Mama Medlock was a Saint, Servant and worshipper of righteous. A believer who wanted all people to come together and lay down their burdens to the Lord because God will provide if only we believe,trust and obey him.
