Pearl was such a wonderful friend and individual. I will miss being able to connect at the Midyear meetings in DC. She was so supportive and we both shared a strong faith. She will truly be missed, but I am happy she is in peace and with our Lord and Savior.

Remembering our beautiful WCR sister! She will be truly missed🥲

Pearl was a wonderful person. She was funny, witty, and personable. I text her the week she passed, not knowing that she transitioned to heaven. She will truly be missed. I extend my sincerest condolences to her daughter, son-in-love, and family.

Friends since freshman year at Hampton Univ. We shared 54 years of friendship. My prayers are with her.

Precious Memories with my childhood friend Pearl 

I remember when we played together in your yard,
I remember sharing pop cycles in the summertime,
I remember playing with your baby chicks,
I remember playing hide and seek,
I remember you taking walks with Kathy in the stroller like the proud big you were,
I remember Penny guarding over Kathy like the protective guardian of a new born pup,
I remember hanging out on the sidewalk playing hopscotch,
I remember sitting on the porch playing jacks,
I remember pulling branches off of your weeping willow tree,
I remember you yelling at me when I was doing something mischievous, 
I remember being out late at night looking at the stars with Anthony’s telescope,
I remember being out at night capturing lightning bugs,
When the day got long I remember hearing your Mom saying “Sista it’s time to come home now”,
I remember a lot of things about our growing up together, some good some bad, 
But most of all I remember you being my friend,
It sad to think about the memories we missed out on and the fact there are to be no new ones to add,
I suppose that the memories we shared will just have to do,
I guess you must have heard your Mom and Dad calling you one last time when the days got long, “Sista it’s time for you to come home now!”.
 
Thank you Pearl for being longest friend.  

God bless you and may He provide comfort for your family and friends.

My condolences to the family,  I remember Pearl as my very smart Fairmont High School 
Friend.  When asked, she gave me the honor
to be my Junior Prom Date.   Actually she was the first formal date I ever had .  My she rest in peace, she will always be remembered,

Donald Hansberry Jr,

Pearl and I have been friends since 1st grade at Highland Park Elementary School.  We graduated from Fairmont Heights High School in 1971.  I am floored at her passing.  She was a true friend. We would catch up on each other's lives about once a year.  I am in shock at her passing.  Kayla, Kathy and family, you have my condolences and prayers.  You have lost a real gem!  I pray for your comfort in this sad time.  May God grant you peace and understanding.

Kayla, Kathy and Bro you have my heartfelt sympathy and prayers. Pearl and I have been friends since first grade. We attended elementary school, junior high and high school together and remained the best of friends I have such fond memories of all our times together. I will truly miss my friend.  I’m praying that God will give you all you need to go through and get through the days ahead. Love you so very much.

Pearl and I were classmates at Hampton  Institute  now University preparing for our 50th reunion in May.  She will be missed greatly by our college friends who knew her beautiful personality and wonderful smile.  
My condolences to her family, friends and work associates.
Prayers up,
Marie Slaughter

I am so saddened to hear of Pearl's passing.  We were classmates at Hampton Institute and I could always depend on her for a laugh and a smile.  Our class of 1975 is blessed to have known her.
Peace and Blessings always to her family and friends.

Pearl was one of the kindest and warmest persons I have ever know in the Real Estate Industry. She always had a smile and a warm embrace! She will be missed

My sincerest condolences to Kayla, Kathy and family. Pearl and I were friends of 25 years and she was a wonderful friend. ❤️🥰 This is a very tough loss for me to deal with but God had other plans. Pearl will be truly missed and may she rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾

Pearl was one of a kind. She took the time to listen and lend a caring heart. Her smile was contagious when she entered a room, you knew that Pearl had arrived and the room just got lighter. If she was angry, you didn't know it because she just kept on smiling as if she knew that no matter what the problem, it will be alright. She had a passion for others and the wellbeing of those who were in need. She demonstrated compassion and generosity in her work to bring people together. We could talk about anything and everything, she was a woman of wisdom. 
The author of the Book of Proverbs, I believe was speaking of Pearl Osborne Whetzel. She spoke as a woman of noble character who carried herself with strength, dignity and grace. As Pearl leaves us, "Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate" Proverbs 31:31. As the Lord receives you, the words bellow, "Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant." You will be missed on earth and heaven has gained Pearl.

Dearest Kayla,Kathy and family,
Words cannot express how very sorry we are to learn of Pearl’s passing.  Pearl is a true friend indeed and will be greatly missed. 
We send our condolences and prayers during this time. 
Prayers for God’s grace , comfort and peace.
We are here for you always!
Love ,
The Crawfords (Venita, Rachel and Stephanie)
