Remembering: A Pearl of great price

A word from Curt

Remembrance.

It’s a good word.

Today, I’m remembering my precious grandmother, Pearl Stockwell Iles. Today would be her 101st birthday.

She was MaMa Pearl to me, and she filled my life with love.

I speak for all of her wide family. MaMa filled our lives with her love.

Bill Iles with his mother, Pearl Stockwell Iles. Dry Creek, Louisiana circa 1990.

I thought of MaMa Pearl often during our African sojourn. She planted the seeds of missions in my heart. She was a missionary who never left Louisiana but always had a vision of reaching the entire world for her Jesus. I even named our 4WD Mudding Vehicle “MaMa Pearl.”

I believe she would’ve liked that.
