Please accept my condolences for the loss of a wonderful person. Ms. Pearl was certainly a role model in Alhambra for the Child Nutrition Dept. She hired me back in 1991 and I will never forget the enthusiasm she had for serving the children and encouraging all her staff to be the best we can be. I am still a part of the district today, 25 years later. There are many former employees that still remember her impact. I pray for comfort for all her family.
