    Prophetess Stalling,

    Thank you for making available the broadcast of your interviews with local gospel singers, family and friends of Vera Jenkins. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend her homegoing services, so it was a blessing to me to watch your broadcast. I was a member of Vera's gospel group, the Gospel Cheerette's in the early sixties along with Pastor Thelma Buckner, Sadi Nolan and others. I treasured memories of rehearsing at Vera's house and singing on programs with the Cherrette's. I count it a blessing and an honor to have shared in a small portion of her legacy. My condolences go out to the family and friends of such a great prayer warrior and singer.

    Hello,
    I am a resident of Omaha, Nebraska. However, I am a native of Minneapolis. I was very fortunate to have worked under the direction of Mother Vera Jenkins for many years. Because of her gifts and many talents I sing today. I didn't know of her passing until a few months later. I was so delighted to find your segment and tribute to this wonderful woman of God. Thank you for your work on this piece, it was a blessing to my heart.
    I sat at my desk this morning and laughed and cried. I went waaaaaaaaaaaaay back down memory lane. God bless you.
