So sorry for your loss. Always enjoyed visiting with Pearl. You are in our thoughts.
Bonnie called and told me Pearl had passed away. You all have my sympathy. I have many happy memories of the times mom and dad would take us to your home and we would visit. I remember how Pearl, my Godmother, always remembered me on holidays and the anniversary of my baptism. She lived a long life and will be remembered for her kindness. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. I can hear her playing the piano and watching her hands fly.
Sorry about Pearl. We always enjoyed visiting with her With our deepest sympathy Dean and Marilyn
