Girlfriend:



Lori and I have you and your family in our prayers, as always. While we

Kathy and Family,

My deepest condolences, Mrs. Pearson was a beautiful lady both inside and out. It seems as though she always had something nice to say about people when she wasn't doing something thoughtful for them. We left here on earth will sorely miss her. I am confident that the God and his angles joyously greeted her soul.
