Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • I will always remember Aunt Pearl as a "shaker and mover" kind of woman, ever with a song in her voice. She showed much compassion at the loss of our parents (Maurice and Nellie Laberge) and of our son, Jordi, with her thoughtful notes of comfort as we grieved our losses as a family. It was refreshing to see this tender side of Pearl in our time of need. Our sincere condolences to Sandi, Dwayne and Jeff, and Pearl's beautiful grandchildren, her dear, long-time friends and the extended family. May the joyful memories sustain you. - We wish you much joy on the other side Auntie Pearl, freedom from pain and a lovely reunification with the love of your life, our Beloved Uncle Sam. - Posted by: Monica and Isaac Hofer (Niece) on: Apr 05, 2014
