I feel privileged to have known Pearl as a coworker at the middle school, but more so to be able to call her friend. She was a very special lady.

I am going to miss her laughter and sense of humor and especially her love of family. She has taught me so much about life. I hope that me and Roger Caroll make it as far as they did. We did eat up some oysters. With all my love and respect for my Daddy's Sister. Nancy Green
