Our love to the family as we share in your grief; and we praise God for putting such a wonderful, caring and positive person in our life. We treasure the precious memories we have of many special times together. And will always remember the passionate love Pearl had for God, for her family; and how much she enjoyed her life. She was our "Precious Pearl."

We shared this belief............
For God so loved the world , that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
--John 3:16

My continual prayers are with your family. I will always remember Pearl's seriousness about studying and applying the Word of God in her life.

Also her sharp sense of humor when I call to joke with her regarding a "computer problem", because she was the "computer expert".

May God continue blessing your family.

Love,

Claudette E. Parm
