Dear Kay, and all the family.... I am sad to see that Pearl is no longer with us. She was a very special lady, and all of you were fortunate to have her in your lives for so long. It is a melancholy thought to know that another one of that generation is gone, and now we are the "senior" generation! My thoughts & prayers are with you all. Love from Janet.
