Pearle Robinson has been a part of my life, and that of my family, as long as I can remember. She was very close to my late mother, Norma Elizabeth (Taylor) Thomas, throughout my mother's life. (My mother was Pearle's cousin, as the daughter of Kenneth Oliver Taylor and Julia McGowan Taylor). I had the honor to attend Pearle's 100th birthday party, and to visit her thereafter, including two very recent visits after she'd entered hospice care. I will always love Pearle, and will miss her. She possessed genuine goodness, and a vivacity of life and spirit that always showed through to others around her. She was a devout believer in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and I know that she is in His kingdom now. With sincere condolences and best wishes, Norman Thomas
