Grace and peace to the family and friends of Mother Pearl M. Heidelburg, We first met when she and her family came to Mt. Calvary Holy Church, Columbus, Ohio under watch care, but after a few months came in full fellowship, for about 10 years. Served faithfully in Sunday School, New Members Class, The Community Outreach, Pastor’s Aide and as one of our Church Mothers. Her love for GOD, the Pastor & First Lady, and the people of GOD, was expressed in every way. Faithful and true servant of the LORD JESUS Christ. We are praying for the family and friends during this time of transition. Rest In JESUS. . . . . . . . . Love and Peace
