My condolences to Todd and Michelle and your family. I worked with Pearl for many years at the college, and we also worked out together at the Princeton Club. I used to stop in and see her occasionally at Slices on card day. She was a special lady, wasn't afraid to speak her mind but was always the first one there when anyone needed help. I will never forget her.
