To the Price Family I send you my Prayers. I remember Mother Price with a beautiful smile. She was always available to talk with. She will always be remember of the smile and how soft spoken she was. There's no greater love than the love she carried.

May the Lord bless and keep you during this time of grief. Our Family loves and prays for you.

To the family of Mrs. Mattie Price-Do know that I share your grief for the loss of a love one is almost unbearable. But lean and depend on God for this loss is too much for you to bear alone. My prayers are with with you as you endure your loss.

Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Just know that Mrs. Price was an exceptional neighbor and a stellar woman. With deepest sympathy in this most difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are wth you Family. I love Aunt Pearl and knew she loved me. I have memories of stopping by to see her and she would always have some good food. I would eat and she would make me a to go plate. I would give her a few dollars and she would give me a great big hug. I could count on her to give some home grown pecans. A beautiful smile, a beautiful woman, Aunt and child of God.
RIP Aunt Pearl.
