R.I.P Aunt Perline. I remember when I was young coming Uncle Randy and Your house and all the kids hanging out.

Denny and I were very fortunate to have support from you and Randy while we lived in Newport. We enjoyed the "little ones", who are no longer little. You taught me to play Yahtzee, and I learned about being a navy wife. There were picnics when you returned to PA. I don't remember getting that bean recipe you had, but perhaps you can share it in our future. While we didn't get to see more of each other, you will be missed.

So sorry for your loss. Perline was a trip. Always looked forward to her stories when she would come into the office. She will keep everything in heaven under control.
