The pandemic has shift- ed classes online and sent many students back home to their parents. Most mortuary programs closed their doors, put classroom learning on hold while others found ways to keep their students safe and doors open by hav- ing them wear masks and social distance so they can continue their intended major in the mortuary sci- ence field. The 100 Black Women of Funeral Service thanks their mortuary educa- tors and donors for serv- ing others during the pan- demic that is still in effect. Kind contributions have helped them serve deserv- ing students who were suffering from the pan- demic and knows students are still in need of dona- tions. The 100BWFS un- derstands that their pro- fession has provided dedicated first respond- ers as educated mortuary and licensed students dur- ing the pandemic and they learned early the meaning of service and serving oth- ers. Thanks for all dona- tions regardless of size. The 100BWFS, Inc are proud to present their first group of 2021 Scholar- ship Students: Terrica L. Williams , Piedmont Tech- nical College; LaToya C.
