We want to offer our condolences to the family. You are all in our thoughts & prayers. Aunt Pearl was a wonderful, loving & Godly woman. We enjoyed long talks with her & valued her wisdom. She was very devoted to her family. On several occasions she told me that she prayed daily by name for each of her children & spouses, grandchildren & special people in her life. She also told me she prayed for me & my family too. That really touched me & was of great comfort. She strongly believed in the power of prayer. The last time I talked to her she said she had lived a good life & had been blessed by God with a loving family. She was always so grateful to her family for all they did for her in her later years. It's comforting to know we will see her again at Jesus second coming when she is resurrected with a healthy body & to be reunited with family & friends forever. We will dearly miss her.

My heart hurts for the Larson family. Pearl loved you all so much. Laura, bless you for taking such good care of her. My husband and I first met Pearl in 2008 when we knocked on her door. We are Jehovah's Witnesses and Pearl invited us in to her home and her heart and we began what became a decade long friendship. She LOVED God's Word and we spent many hours discussing the promises therein. According to the Bible she is in Jehovah's memory (the safest place she could be) awaiting a resurrection to a future paradise earth. She actually believed this with all her heart as she spoke of it often during our discussions. I look forward to seeing her there where she will be young and healthy and full of life.

Sorry for your loss. My dad Wayne Chapman "chappy" worked with Pearl and John Deere for many years. The humor and stories brought much laughter.

I had the pleasure of meeting Pearl when I moved next to her on Madison St. Very outspoken, honest, strong, caring and loving person. She did love her books, my regret is that I didn't keep closer to her. You were an amazing person Pearl and a good friend. You will be missed,
