We told Alice Budz about her dear friend PB. She handled the details very well. Alice will always cherish the last visit she had with Pearl when Danise brought her down to Clinton. The picture of her and Pearl still is on the bulletin board in her room. Pearl was the maid of honor when Mike and Alice married, and she and Dan stood up with Mike and Alice when they renewed their vows. I know Alice will miss her very much. All our love to you, Sally and Danise, for all you have done to make Pearl's life happier. She will be missed very much by all of us.

I am sorry to learn of the passing of your mother, Pearl.
Pearl was a beacon of light to myself and my son Vince, when he was diagnosed with leukemia in 1997. She continually graced our lives with letters and small gifts, before we even knew who she was.Her support and prayers carried us through a very difficult time.
Once we had met, Pearl and I had a few visits, or would casually meet at church.
I lost contact with her, thinking she had moved out of the area.
I wish I could've visited her at Bethlehem Woods.
It is very difficult to lose your mother no matter what the age, I will keep your families in my prayers.
She was a great woman.
My deepest regrets,
Marianne Patrevito

We were so surprised to read of the passing of your mother. We remember with great fondness Mrs. Stockbarger who always made us feel welcome in her home. She gave us so many laughs and provided so much fun whenever we were with her and her family. We would like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Stockbarger for giving us Denise as our dear friend. The Stockbargers reared two wonderful daughters and we will remember them for that. We will hold Denise, Sally, and all their loved ones in prayer. We miss you all. With love & God's blessings, Penny & Steve
