Byers receives first Humanitarian Award

Written by Administrator on May 14th, 2014
Byers honored

Sis. Kathy Byers, left, received the Humanitarian Award from the Shady Grove Senior Missionary, represented by Sis. Dorothy Manning.

Sis. Kathy Byers was the recipient of the first Humanitarian Award, given on Mother’s Day by the Shady Grove Baptist Church Senior Missionary.

Among reasons listed for her receiving the award, Sis. Byers loves helping others in any way that she can. She helps to attend to her mother, who is in declining health; her sister, who is experiencing some health issues; and a cousin who is in poor health. Byers and her husband, James, are taking care of her cousin so that she would not have to stay in a nursing home.

Sis. Byers lends herself to help various members of the church and community. She visits the hospital, the nursing home, and calls to see if the shut-in needs her to sit with them or to run errands for them.

Because of all these kind acts of love, the Senior Missionary saw fit to award her and let her know of the appreciation they had for her efforts.
