My dear friend, Pearl.

I had the pleasure of seeing a dear friend from my Navy days yesterday. Boy, it was a gift to be able to see her after so many years. She was not just a friend, but my boss. I don't only admire her for being a great mentor to me, but I admire her for the strength she has had to battle Breast Cancer. Yes, she kicked that in it's but and she hasn't had to deal with it since; God blessed her. Thank you, Pearl for coming to visit us. Oh, and Ashleigh is taking good care of her terrarium. Thank you.
