"Our Flowers To Helen" , undated
Scope and Contents
One-page, typed speech written by Ethelwyn Bailey, reads as follows:
How sweet is friendship when it is known with a sister like Helen Yancey. We all know as Senior Citizens, time is just a little fleeter and we cling to old friends which brings our hearts a little nearer. God is bringing us closer in Christian Fellowship by calling us, one by one, to His Kingdom above where there is no death. Helen, we know God needed you to help brighten up His Kingdom with talent in music, so this time you were His chosen child. You have left us for just a while, but soon we will join you in a glad chorus, "Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men".
Ethelwyn Rae Bailey. Hallie Q. Brown.
