Donna, & Family. So sorry to hear of Pearlie Marie’s passing. I use to work with her at he Great Flame Coal Office under T.T.Colley. She and I had a wonderful working relationship. Our boss Mr. Petot always brought to our attention that we were both born on December 24th. He always had to publish this in the local paper. She was a great person to learn accounting from. Sending prayers to all of her family and God Bless.
