I will always admire how beautiful she looked on Sunday morning for church. She inspired me to be the godly and virtuous women I saw when I would enter the house of God. She always showed love and concern to the people who were in her presence and for that I will truly miss the former First Lady of Warner Baptist Church.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Rev. and Mrs Pearson from growing up and visiting Asheville Baptist Church with my mom, Ella Ford. Family, be strong in the Lord and He will make the way.
