Pearl, I will miss your welcoming smile, those sparkling deep blue eyes, and the beautiful radiance that shone through you each time we were together and shared many family memories, especially about Dad! You were a remarkable person and touched so many lives. Until we meet again, Sis, I will always love you and cherish the many fond memories of you in my heart. Love Coleen Peter, Kelly, and Shannon, our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to you and all of our family during this time. Pearl’s memory & spirit will live on forever and ever. Sharing in your sorrow and great loss, Coleen, John, Elorah, Renae, Jonathan

Kelly, Shannon and family: My heart goes out to all of you at this time…this is a very difficult place to be. I am thinking of you and send my heartfelt condolences. Kaz

To Peter & family. We thought this poem appropriate knowing Pearl filled her “dash” with a zest for life. For a special lady; THE DASH I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend He referred to the dates on her tombstone From the begining to the end He noted that first came her date of her birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved her Know what tht little line is worth. For it matters not how much we own; The cars, the house, the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left, That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what’s true and real And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, And more often wear a smile Remembering that this special dash Might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy is being read With your life’s actions rehash Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash? by Linda Ellis

Pearl, I’m honoured to have been a part of your journey in life. Your love for living life to the fullest; your inner strength; your gift of giving and your unselfishness has taught me more than you will ever know. You truly made me feel like one of your daughters and I feel privileged to have shared that time with you and your family, all be it too short. You will always be my “special mom” Love Always, Mugsy

To the Family; My deepest sympathy; When we were all growing up, she always greated me with a smile, and some nice words; I Love this, Hope you Love it to. Her Journey’s Just Begun,, Don’t think of her as gone away…. Her journey’s just begun.. life holds so many facets.. this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears , in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but OUR sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched.. for nothing loved is ever lost… and she was loved so much. LOVE Margaret Roy {Nash}

Peter Shanon and Kelly….we are so sorry to hear about your loss….Pearl was a great lady and will be missed….our thoughts and prayers are with you Our deepest sympathy Joce and Garry

Pearl, You have been one of my best friends, you have always been a part of my family and you are like a sister to me. We have shared a lot of good times and I will miss your laughing eyes and smile but your memory will be in my heart forever. To Peter, Kelly and Shannon, my sympathy to you in the loss of a wife and mother. Your Friend, Barb..

Dear Peter and girls, How sad to learn of Pearl’s passing. Pearl was a strong woman and I admired her courage and strength during her illness. I am unable to attend the service but know that I am thinking about you at this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Janie.

Pearl: Out Of Sight, Never Out Of Mind….. I Will Miss Not Running Into You And Seeing Your Smile And Piercing Blue Eyes.So My Friend Rest In Peace And I Will See You Again In Another Time And Place> Keep Those Baseball Gloves Stiff, And Have A Cold One Waiting When I Get There……

Uncle Peter, Shannon and Kelly, I wish I could be there with you at this difficult time… I will always remember how special auntie Pearl was to my family. I will never forget her kisses and hugs, and her big smile. I love you auntie Pearl and I will miss you. My Deepest Sympathy, Love Tanya, Robbie and Rilee Hierons

I am very sorry that I cant be there for the funeral and to see you and Aunt Kitty at this time. Your pain must be unimaginable, I am very sorry that I hadn’t seen Aunt Pearl in so long, 2 summers ago I think. I am very saddened by her death, and it will leave a huge void in everyone’s life. I remember coming to Earlton after you guys built the new house. I had mom and dad’s van at college, coming for a visit, it was so nice. I am sorry that we all cant be there now with you Peter, Love Amanda and Brent

To the Swanson,Bodick and Cepesko families: Deepest sympathy in the loss of a very special person. My thoughts are with you. Love Aunt Lorraine.

Pearl….for the memories…for the love…for the laughter…and for the tears. Friendship is never ending. “If I could be a friend like you; I’d count my life worth while, If I could only learn to do, So much to bring a smile; I wish that I could grow to be, In all I say and do, Less like the one folks know as me, And more and more like you.” You will be missed greatly.

Peter and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. WE will always remember Pearl for her happy smile and cheery hello.

Our deepest condolences to your family and friends. Mrs.Swanson was Adam’s mother’s neighbour and was such a sweet, kind woman. May she rest in peace. Amanda, Adam and Alexander
