On the many trips we made to the airport for you to go to see Bonnie were full of many laughs.

I miss you, Pearl. I miss our phone calls and visits, our celebration dinners and watching you knit and love on your Brandy and Molly. Your smile was infectious. I took your Christmas present to the "girls" at the library for them to draw straws to see who would get it. You sure would have hated being tied down with this epidemic and having your trips to Maine and Texas curtailed as well as visiting with your family and especially your talks with Kelly and kisses with your new grandson. I hope you are knitting with the angels.

Such a dynamite lady. I am sorry you didn't get to see Serena get beaten. I know you would have called me to gloat! Tomorrow is our anniversary and I'm so sorry you won't be at Manny's with us to share in that decadent desert!

To Pearls family, I met your Mom through her sister Della. She would come to my shop to get her hair cut when here in Maine. She was so full of life and had an amazing personality! It was like seeing a very dear friend when she came. My sincere condolences to you all.
