My deepest condolences to Norris, Jerry and family. I had the honor of meeting Pearlie this past May when I attended my granddaughter's graduation from Southern. Norris and Jerry hosted us in their beautiful home and it was there where I met Mrs. Pearlie. I will treasure the pictures taken and may God comfort you in your time of sorrow. Mrs. Pearlie has made it home with our Father in heaven. Love, Ruby, Curtis, Dora, Teara & Jah.
