Obituary
ISAAC "FREDDIE CLAY" GOLD of 104 Carr Street was born in Calhoun County, South Carolina, December 25, 1917 to the late Frank and Sophie Lawrence Gold. On Sunday, February 2, 2003 he entered into eternal rest. At an early age Isaac joined Friendship Baptist Church where he served on the usher board and was a member of the choir. Isaac held a reverence for God in his heart first and foremost. Isaac always admonished his family to "Trust in God and never doubt". Isaac attended the public schools of Calhoun County and loved gardening and baseball. Isaac married Pearlie Fridia (Friday). From this union seven children were born. Isaac and Pearlie moved to Baltimore, Maryland where they resided until his retirement and then returned back home to St. Matthews. Two children, Isaac F. Gold and Ennis Denise Gold preceded him in death. Though the presence of one so dear is no more; warm memories are left / to be cherished by his wife, Pearlie M. "Darling" Gold; sons, William J (Rosa) Gold, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, George F. Gold, Baltimore, Maryland; daughters, Julia Gold Scott, Vera Gold (Kenneth) McClary, Karen Gold, all of Baltimore, Maryland; sister, Virlie Mae Jones, Orangeburg, South Carolina; nephews, Freddie Clay Jones, Orangeburg, South Carolina, James Otis Gold, Jr., Paterson, New Jersey; thirteen grandchildren, eight great grandchildren; nieces, nephews and a host of loving relatives and friends.

Safely jtf
I am home in Heaven, dear ones; oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last. Did you wonder how I so calmly trod the valley of the Shade? Oh! but Jesus love illumined every dark and fearful glade. And He came Himself to meet me in that way so hard to tread; And with Jesus arm to lean on, could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earths shadows, pray to trust our Fathers will. There is work still waiting for you so you must not idly stand; Do it now while life remaineth, you shall rest in Gods own land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting, oh, the joy to see you come!
