    My heart goes out to you Janet, and your family. I have very fond memories of you, your mom and dad. It was such a pleasure to work at Martin Variety while I was in high school. I learned so much from them. Your mom was one of the kindest people I have ever known.

    Sorry for your loss. My memory of Pearl was seeing her tool around Wedgewood Drive on her adult tricycle, waving at people and stopping to chat. Warm and friendly. A sweet lady.
