        <ExplanationTxt>| Explanation:| Hurel L Northern Pastor Administrator of Agape Word Church unexpectedly passed away January 10 2025. I am her daughter Jaclyn Northern. I took over my moms duties as administrator. My mom is the only person that did all the administration work for the church for the past 40 years and handled all business affairs as well. I did my best in filling out the 990-EZ. I also asked for an extension to research figures. I did my very best considering the circumstances. My email is jaclyn.northern@gmail.com. My phone number is 225-421-5149.</ExplanationTxt>
