Pearlee was such a special friend to Johnny and me. I always remember her beautiful smile and the fun she had serving God with Dottie Griffin and passing out candy and other gifts at Methodist Hospital. She never neglected to stop by desk and pass out candy to me and the friends who worked with me which always included a small aluminum cross. You were a special friend to all of us in XYZ and brought joy to many hearts. God bless you always Pearlee. I know you are enjoying your many friends and family and especially meeting your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven. I know there were many friends to welcome you home. I hope to join you there one day. RIP Pearlee and know you were greatly loved by those who had the privilege of knowing you. Amen and Amen
