I just wanted to express my deepest condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in knowing that Miss Pearl is now in a better place and that the love she had for her family will never die. Please smile when you think of her, as her life on this earth now lives on in the memories of those she loved and those who loved her.
She was a beautiful person and I am truly sorry for your loss.

Traci, Kaylee & Family,
I am so sorry for your loss and understand what you are going through at this time. I will pray for God to provide you with the strength and comfort you will need now and for the days ahead.
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying in pain..."

Dear Sherry, Pat, Robbie, Traci and Sandi...Words can't express how much we will miss your Mom. Even though I only got to really know her in the last few years, she was really special to me. I will truly miss sharing meals with her and our home "beauty parlor" sessions. But know in your hearts that she truly loved her children, and how blessed and cherished she felt. You are all in our hearts and prayers.

Dear Rob, Sherry, Pat, and Traci and Family,
My mom, Betty Smith, called me this morning to let me know about the death of your mother. I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that your mother was a wonderful person. I have many fond memories of growing up together and all the fun and laughter which was generated by Pearl. She will truly be missed. I wish I could come and see all of you but I am in the process of finishing up college classes and have exams to take online between now (Friday) and Sunday. Know that on Sunday, I will take a moment at 2:30 p.m. and say a prayer for the enitre family and Pearl. Godspeed! Blessings and Love, Terry Lynn Smith
