Pearle and Frank were supportive, kind and good friends during our tenure at Napoleon United Methodist Church in the 1980's. They are remembered with great fondness.
At some point last year, my husband, Pastor Greg, received a call that Pearle was not expected to live through the week-end and would he please go to pray with her. We went to Jacqueline House - Pearle knew he was there and asked him to pray, which he did. Then Pearle told him that he didn't hold her hand and he needed to hold her hand. He reached under the covers and cupped her hand in his. She then told him, "Now say the prayer again." So he did. She gave him a faint smile, thanked him, and went back to sleep. Obviously, she lived much longer than that week-end, but I am confident that when Greg welcomed her to Heaven, he was sure to hold her hand. May God be with her family as they grieve the loss of this wonderful woman. Sue Wolfe

Heaven is a little happier today. Pearl has been such a great friend to me, since I met her in 1960 until she left this earth. I enjoyed my visits with her at the Jacqueline house and throughout the years. I will miss her dearly. May God be with the family as they grieve for her. I can't wish her back. She lived such a full life and was ready to leave her earthly body behind as she moved to a great place.

Brian, Steve, Brad -- I have always held nothing but the best memories and fondest feelings for your loveable Mom--she taught me how to sing when I was about 8 years old and I still sing (in the car) the songs I learned from her when in the carol choir. She had the beautiful, strong, vibrant voice -- it reflected her loving personality. She now sings with the choir of angels. I know you will miss her--what a gift she was to all of us.
