I had the Honor of knowing Sis. Pearl when I joined Friendly Will Baptist Church. My eldest Granddaughter Deborah had Sickle Cell Anemia,she passed away in 2017. Pearl would give us advice on how to comfort her during her Sickle Cell Crisis. Sis. Pearl became a real good friend and the Sister I never had. She spoiled my granddaughters with those good Ole’ Gooy Cakes, Peanut Butter Cookies . We are truly going to miss my Sis’tah. Adrienne and Andre y’all have my Sincere, Heartfelt Condolences. May God Bless You both as well as the entire family with Strength, Comfort and Peace during this time of Grief. Your Mother was a God sent, and she really loved her grandkids. Rest In Heavenly Paradise My Beautiful Beloved Sis’tah. Till we meet again.

“Felicia “ I wish I could talk to you, hug and kiss you one last time . You were yourself those last 4 months . But if I could do 11/27/24 over , I would have just stayed home to cook with and fuss in our fashion .
Until I see you again! Fly high momma
