Pearl, I met you when I moved into Rogers House 5 years ago. You were so kind & welcoming to me & all others moving in @ that time. I will always remember your bright blue eyes and your incredible spunk. Over time I met Keith, Roberta, Cathy & Glenna. I could always feel the love in your family. My heart goes out to all of your family at this time. I cannot join you on Tuesday, but you will all be in my thoughts. Pearl, you will be forever in my heart & I will remember your famous homemade custard, always.

Cathy, Roberta and family, so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a very special lady to me. I will never forget her or her peanut butter fudge. I make it for the holidays and also remember the first time she gave some, it was in Christmas Tree pan and oh so delicious. I am honored to have known your Mom who was always to share of herself with all.
