I would like to extend my condolences to Pearl’s family. My mother, Eva, and her family met Pearl and her family in Montana, when they were children. Both families moved to Wash state about the same time and, although they settled in different areas of the state, they remained in touch and friends throughout the years as they grew up and had their own families. I recall with fondness visiting, as a child with my family, Pearl and Babe and their family on their farm near Granite Falls. Her son, Ken, and I were/are about the same age, so we always had something to do and talk about. Pearl was always so nice to me whenever we met. Those memories of her will always remain with me.
Greetings and best regards to all.

I need to pay my respects to Pearl and her family during this time. We'd met a few times over the years and I was always struck by her friendliness and graciousness.
Yes, Pearl did have a warm and ready smile as well.
My best to all the family during this time,

Pearl was like a mother to me. I will miss her mothering and her mentoring. I have many fond memories of working with her in the kitchen and of her encouraging me in Grange activities. Her elder wisdom will be with me as I become an elder. I will truly miss her.
Babe, Ken and John, may God be with you in your grief. Take care.
Love and prayers.
