She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her...Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised"; and

Whereas, the momentous milestone of Pearl Hampton's birthday will be celebrated with friends, family, and colleagues on Saturday, July 15, 2017, in a festive gathering filled with love and a sense of community; and
