Roger and Randy, my sincere sympathy on the passing of your mother. I have only good memories of your folks being my customers at the Bank. Always enjoyed visiting with them.
They did so much for your community they should be honored in some way.
As a teenager I often was a baby sitter for Pearl and Joy. I have a lot of good memories. In our small country town, she was one of our “fashion stars”. She had a great smile. I send hugs to Randy and Roger and their familes.
Roger and Randy you have my deepest sympathies. Last of her kind, loved that lady. Many special memories throughout the years from the six wheelers to badminton games to swimming n the pool, the many hikes and parties we had. She was something else and I loved her dearly.
Prayers to the family
I was so glad to have met Miss Pearl! I worked with Joy at the power house. Rode horses and my beloved mules with Randy. Just want the family to know that this life may end, but Miss Pearl’s will continue on. God Bless You.
Pearl was a delightful lady, always a smile! She was a joy at the campground sharing her smile and visits on her walks
