“What an remarkable & amazing woman & what powerful influence & impact she had on me/all. I can’t believe she’s gone but then again, I can’t believe she was with us as long as she was. I imagine her, celebrating with loved ones and many, many friends that passed before her. I don’t believe there is a person in her life that didn’t experience how she could light up others or shared lots of laughs(out loud) with or made you smile bigger & feel better just because she could do that. LovU Aunt Pearl”
