Through pain, despair, loneliness, and periods of separation from her adulterous husband, a former pastor who abandoned their children, she truly worshiped God. Despite all the challenges she faced, and finally as she battled the AIDS virus, she didn't lose her faith in her Father God and always said, "No Sad Story " "I had the privilege of knowing Mother Lawson in the early years of my ministry.
