Memories of teenagers vacationing together at Lake Winnepesaukee were renewed two years ago when Pearl and Steve joined my family over the July 4th weekend. Being a bridesmaid in Pearl’s wedding, celebrating her daughter’s birth and then sharing Grandmother stories…Holly and Steve and family, I am so very sorry. I will call you in a few days.

I, too, knew Pearl from GHS. We reconnected a few years ago through other GHS pals. She was a wonderful person and will be missed greatly by all of us who loved her. Godspeed, Pearl.

To Pearl's Family- I was Pearl's classmate from Junior High on at Grafton High School. We met again several years ago and maintained an on-line correspondence. She was a good and kind person and enjoyed a laugh as her emails attest. I will miss her.
