Aunt Pearl I will always love you, and you are still one of the most beautiful women that touched my life. You and my momma showed how to act like a real lady. I will love you forever.

I did not know my grandfather, because he passed before his daughter (Ella, my mother) was an adult. I knew his brother (Willie James Thornton who married, Pearlie M. Thornton). My Great Uncle James and Great Aunt Pearlie were two wonderful people. I loved to visit them as child. Aunt Pearlie would always make my family feel welcome and loved. She carry herself with dignity and poise. She was a beautiful lady as a young Aunt Pearlie and as a season Aunt Pearlie....

Aunt Pearl treated me and my family very good. She and my uncle James welcomed us into their home. We, kids, had fun playing with Wayne. Aunt Pearl was both beautiful and kind. My memories of her will always be of a wonderful woman that made my life so special. May Mrs. Pearlie M. Thornton rest in peace.

Ms. Thornton you will truly be missed. I enjoyed our moments together during your last year. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this sad time. I know that you're in a better place w/your prince charming who spoiled you! You were truly a blessing to me. Rest in peace.

Love,
Ashley K. Starks
