To All of the Pearson Family: Clarence, Nikki, Toya, and C.P.III.
I was so distressed when my daughter, Lisa, telephoned me to tell me about the illness of your beloved wife, mother, and my friend-Janice. Memories of all of you as children - Nikki, Toya, C.P. and Lisa - constantly flooded my thoughts. I am reminded of all of the good times - Tots Nursery School, Banneker High School, and your New Year's open houses, to name a few. Words cannot express how saddened we all are by her passing. We are praying that God will provide the strength to sustain you through this most difficult time.

Love and Prayers,

March 31, 2009

To All of the Pearson Family:
These are the hardest days of your life and the Good Lord will see you through. I am praying for you all. The Lord is your Good Shepherd.

Clarence,
Jan will be sorely missed from the Hampton family. Although she was not a HI grad you could not tell it from her love, devotion and support of Hampton. I can only imagine the depth of your loss after so many years of marriage. What I do know is that God will give you the strength to get through this. I also know that the memories of our loved ones keep them forever in our hearts. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers.
