Aunt Pearl was a strong willed person whom loved her family and community. She always had a good story to tell about her childhood. I will miss those talks. I very much enjoyed catching up and seeing how she was doing. I always appreciated her openmindness. Now she can be with her heavenly family somewhere above the rainbow. God Bless you and all that you gave to many! Love, Teresa Coburn Gray
