It is difficult, to say the least, putting into words what a special bond I shared with Ms.Williams. What I can truly say is she glowed with the beauty of the Lord in her. Sweet sweet spirit, kind , gentle and compassionate. It was evident that she was on assignment. Mission accomplished ! I will miss her greatly but will remember our final words to each other I Love You! Rest well my Friend! Until we meet again...

So very sorry to hear about the passing of Pearlene. She always had that beautiful smile and her family and my family live on the road so we all were neighbors. To the family I will be praying for strength. God bless.
