Im gonna miss Aunt Pearl so much and her visits with Granny here in VA. She was such a sweet, caring, and funny lady. They where like two peas in a pod and I loved seeing them together. Love you Aunt Pearl...see you soon.

Pearl was/is special to me and I learned a lot from her. I am thankful for the last time we spent together that included a wonderful meal at Smiths (we both could not get over how much we got and how good it was) followed by stops at the thrift stores. We always had fun talking and being together. She taught me how to bargain hunt and what to look for at thrift stores, tools that I continue to use to this day. My thoughts and prayers are with Jimmy, Dean, Lance, Staci and family. When I spoke to her last she told me she was at peace and was not afraid. I will cherish the times I had with her forever.
