May the Lord keep his unchanging hand on the Padgett family in their time of grief. When I first moved to Tampa from Tallahassee, I worked with Coach Padgett as she was known at Booker T. Washington at that time. She politely handed me a card inviting me to church at New Hope. Soon, I joined the church and was baptized by Pastor Jenkins. Sis. Padgett was the epitome of the Christian spirit. May the Lord welcome her into his heavenly host.
Sincere Condolences to the family,
