Pearl,
I don't know if you remember the Rollings family or not but I remember you girls coming to the house and painting my fingernails one time. Our family and yours, I believe, were very close. I remember Hope but I was a little girl and vaguely remember things going on at that time. My deepest sympathy to you and the family.
