To the family, Pearl will be missed. She was such a wonderful sister/friend to my family.
(Mrs. Ethel Green). Right now, when your loss is so fresh, it may be difficult for you to imagine that this pain will ever go away. But, in time, the blessing of God's unfailing grace will ease the hurt that you're feeling and bring your heart the peace, comfort and hope that it needs to heal. Please remember that there's a circle of friends surrounding you and lifting you up in prayer. May God keep you....

To the Family,
Sister Pearl was a faithful, dedicated, longtime servant of Locust Hill Baptist Church. She worked diligently and served willingly in many roles. Her friendly smile always made you feel welcome. As longtime friends and former church members, we will remember her beautiful smile, sweet spirit, caring heart and helping hands. Her loving presence at the church will truly be missed, but she will not be forgotten. May the sweet presence of the Holy Spirit comfort you, May the power of God strengthen you and May God's promises of eternal life give you hope. Sister Pearl's life was evidence of a good and faithful servant- well done! Her hats will be replaced by a crown! Psalm 121
In prayer,
Eva Kate Watt,daughter, Beverly N. McCray and son, Michael Watt
