Reverend Loyce Estes with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at the funeral services on Dec 23, 1969, addresses the congregation. "The dignified First Girl of the Louisiana Presbytery is deceased. Vibrantly alive are the articles of trust that constitute our legacy. May her mantle show up on us prayerfully." Reverend Mrs. Ada Caston Slaton Bonds is one of the very most colorful ministers ever before produced by the great Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Certainly, she overcame more troubles and exceeded through more heartaches than any minister ever before known in order to preach the "Whosoever Will" gospel. Pass up Ada, as all affectionately called her, possessed many prodigies. By way of the corridors of her ministerial career she helped shape the lives and mold the character of a great number of young ministers, who, today, rise and call her "blessed". God directed her His Divine phoning to preach. She then learned to preach. She carved out a place for herself on the list of clergy that was unique, without comparison. With bottomless feelings, genuine poise, and true dignity, Pass up Ada became the First Girl of the Towel in the Louisiana Presbytery and experienced the highest honor bestowed after her, the name of Mother of All Presbyteries. Brother Kerans finishes up the services by contacting Reverend Paul Covey Johnson. Position by her frail and physical body awaits its final resting place in the Old Bethany Cumberland Presbyterian Church cemetery, he starts her final epitaph. "I am walking across the seashore. A ship is floating near to me, distributing her white sails as it starts a voyage that requires Pass up Ada further and further out in to the ocean. She actually is a powerful vessel, one of beauty and strength. I watch her until she appears like a disappearing speck of an fluffy cloud where the horizon of the sea and sky intermingle with each other. Then someone within my side, just in a position to bear her weight of living freight to the area of vacation spot. Her reduced size is in me, not in her."
