Pearl was amazingly dedicated to her students, teachers, family, and colleagues. She always worked tirelessly to do whatever she could to improve the lives of others. Our world would be a lot better place if more people were more like Pearl and our world is much diminished without her. Now that she has set down her burden, it remains for the rest of us to carry on in her same fashion.

I found out the sad news on Tuesday morning and closed my eyes and said to myself I can't believe this. I knew Pearl a long time here at HCC. Friendly, kind, considerate, pleasant, humorist, dedicated, devoted. My list can go on and on. It is heartbreaking losing a special person like Pearl, but I truly believe she is in paradise.

Rest in pease dear lady. Pearl was a gem to those who new her. She was a graceful, educated woman who has worn many hats in her career and personal life. I am very lucky to have known you.
