Pearl - our teacher - our friend - you will be missed - you were an inspiration to everyone - my father, Mr. Gopal Bhatia, from India still remembers your aqua classes. You were an amazing lady and a gentle teacher.Our heartfelt condolences to Pearl's grandchildren and their families. Here are a few verses about Pearl!"Bustan" by Sadi (Persian poet 1190-1291 A.D.)“From the cloud there descended a droplet of rain;'T was ashamed when it saw the expanse of the main,Saying: "Who may I be, where the sea has its run?Of the sea has existence, I truly, have none!"Since in its own eyes the drop humble appeared,In its bosom, a shell with its life the drop reared;The sky brought the work with success to a close,And a famed royal pearl from the rain-drop arose.Because it was humble it excellence gained;Patiently waiting till success was attained."Friendship" by EmersonDo churlsKnow the worth of Orient pearls?Give the gem which dims the moonTo the noblest or to none."All for Love" by DrydenErrors, like straws, upon the surface flow;He who would search for pearls must dive below.by ShakespereThe liquid drops of tears that you have shed,Shall come again, transform'd to orient pearl,Advantaging their loan with interestOf ten times double gain of happiness.
