    I remember a time when I cleaned her bathroom and folded her bath towels and face cloths and for some reason she always remembered that. She would give us girls words of wisdom and tell us how to act like ladies when we would go out she never judged us but always would encourage us in things of the Lord Jesus.

      I have so many sweet memories of Sister Audry Pleasant-Gaynor. She was my Sunday school teacher/ Choir director and inspiration. I loved her as a second mother. She would always encourage me to keep trusting in the lord whenever I would call her. I give her a nickname of Foxy ( lol ) when I would call and say hello foxy right away she would know who I was. We would talk about old times when were at the old Way of the Cross church on Vine st. Barbara and Dwight I’m sending my condolences love and prayers to you. Heaven has gained another angel

    Sis. Pleasant gave me my first chance at playing piano at the newly founded Way of the Cross Baptist Church!! I will forever be grateful for the love and patience she had with and for me. My prayers go out to the entire Pleasant family during your time of sorrow.

    Sharing your loss
    She was a sweet soul. Blessed to know her for at least 50 years. Because of who she served I know where she is and I will see her again. Rest on sister Gaynor. Be strong Barbara and Dwight love you both.

    Ms Pleasant a kind loving generous unselfish women. Who really really Love the Lord our God emensely. Even with the losses pain and the heartaches she suffer in life she was always unmovable unshakable always abounding in the love of Christ and genuinely cared for others. Her generosity rarly matched. I have many many fond memories of her especially of times after church when she would be finishing Sunday dinner and her first words were” are you hungry? sit down and get you something to eat ” many times she was running off to her next church event to sing and play. She was truly a Proverbs 31 woman.whose children rise up and call her blessed…

But most importantly, thank you for your unrelenting God centered advice on living in this world and on what it means to be a Child and a Man of God and for God!

    My condolences to the Murph/Pleasant family. Will miss you Newsy. I remember the many talks we had whenever you came to Texas or at the Family Reunion. I really sorry you didn’t get to meet my sons. We love you Peter, Tina, Landon and Jamar Wilson. I know you and Frances (mother) are walking around singing.
    Will see you again in heaven.

    With much love and many prayers to you and on your behalf, I send my condolences. From the stories I’ve heard and the evidence found in the two beautiful and powerful women who came from Mrs. Pleasant, she was a wonderful and classy woman! 💜

    Dear Mother Pleasant,
    You were one of the first to show me what it was like to truly see a life lived in Christ Principles —with ease and grace. With unconditional love you and Mr. Murphy accepted me into your life as a brother to Dwight. I will never forget the feeling. The actions of both of you gave me faith in humankind and helped me understand what a ‘higher calling’ really means.
    You are now in a place with so many others like yourself where reward is surely flowing freely.
    I am certain you will enjoy eternity.
    I am blessed to have had you touch my life.

    I had the pleasure of meeting her at Dwan’s graduation in Ohio. She was sweet with a warm spirit, I could tell she didn’t play though! Rest easy in heaven sweet angel. We will be here for Dwan & Ms. Barbara.

    I have come to realize that: God placed Mom in your lives for a season because your turn had come to grow, learn and share and then it was Dwan’s turn . Mom made you laugh. She taught you about God’s Word and how to be a lady. She gave you an unbelievable amount of joy and motherly love. She gave you things you could build upon, even if she left you, for the remainder of your life. Because of that season in your lives you have come to be who you are. How great it is to have had a saintly mother and grandmother like Mother Audry Pleasant Gaynor. For me there are memories of her beautiful smile, her graciousness, how she always remembered me as Peaches, and her delicious gumbo.
