I am in New Zealand until April, and very sorry that I will miss Aunties funeral. I’ll remember her as an enthusiastic, gentle, happy, hospitable, kind person…….who always made me feel special. What a great privilege to have known her. She spoke so lovingly of her large family, and was so proud of each of you. We will miss her, but enjoy the memories of who she was and how good she made us feel. Thoughts and prayers, love Joyce.
Prayers and hugs to the Pearson Family.
