Dear Janice and Bob,
We are saddened to hear of Pearl’s passing. She was such a kind and gracious person. Fond memories of her will remain in the hearts of all who know her. She will be missed.
What a legacy she leaves with such a beautiful daughter, Janice. Your kindnesses and care for her were certainly appreciated by her.
I lost my “Aunt Sally” Godmother on June 4. She was 89 years old, from Mayville, North Dakota, moved here in 1948 with her husband Joe Breyer, worked at Boeing for many years, and lived in Des Moines for 50+ years. So many similarities! Both Pearl and Sally were such good people, kind, compassionate, caring. Could be their North Dakota roots.
Our love to you,
Bill and Vickie for the Vernon Family
