"We are so terribly sorry to hear about Pearl's passing, she was a wonderfully warm lady. Visiting her was always a treat and she always had a fresh baked batch of cookies for you to take home. We very much regret missing her service, as we only just found out about it after it happened. Peace and love to all her family. "

"Prayers and thoughts to the family. "
"I loved visiting with Mrs. Ranalletta!!! We would sit at the kitchen table and have some coffee, or espresso, of course some cookies ... and then we would we always had those "problems of the world" solving discussions. On other occasions we would enjoy dinners in her basement with so much food, and celebrating. Always family, always food, always together. She reminded me of my mother in so many ways. I will miss her because I have so many great memories of her. Rest peacefully in the magnificence of God's presence!"
"I remember the first time I met Pearl. Bob invited me to a picnic over his house in Greece. I showed up in cut off shorts and a t shirt. I got the " look" and I heard about it. I never showed up under dressed again. Pearl opened her house to me and Bob invited me over for dinner. She made a great pasta sauce with meat and all the fixens. I had atleast 2 plates maybe 3. I was full and thought I was done, then she brought out the chicken potatoes and veggies. It was an experience. She was a wonderful woman. I will miss her."
