I have wondered for years when my Mom´s cousin Pearl passed on. My Mom and , Barb and Ed came out several summers to play golf. I talk to Pearl 1 or twice a year year for many years then it kind of dropped off so I figured my dear friend was either sick or gone. I loved dear Pearl and Ben and David and Peter but haven´t those little kids in years. RIP BEN AND PEARL
