Kent,
I am so very sorry that I wasn't able to deliver the new sweat pants to Pearl. They were back ordered several times, and I still have not received them. I so wanted to be able to deliver them to her and see one more time that great smile of hers. As kids on 6th street Julie and I were privileged to be the recipients of her used high heeled shoes, and boy, did we ever have a great time with them! I know she watched us parade up and down the street in them and got some laughs out of that, for sure. We also used to go to the rock BBQ in her back yard and light the stick matches that were always there. We weren't supposed to light them, but we did, and when we used them all up, another box would always appear. I know your folks knew we were out there misbehaving, but they let us get away with it and didn't tell on us! Your Mom was a very gracious woman, and a good friend to my mother. She always asked about my family when we saw each other. She will be remembered.
