In case you are wondering, Pearl (now the oldest living member of the Alfred Stadem family and the matriarch of the clan of Stadem families) at age 96 is living at her home as usual and is doing fine, and is recalling stories still that we hope to put on-line. Please don't give up on us, for we are intending to spend more time in the near future gathering these precious treasures on these pages for your enjoyment and enrichment! Recently, she made acquaintance with a 103 year old lady and a 106 year old lady. The second has passed on to the Lord after Pearl shared the gospel and the lady prayed the Sinner's Prayer. The same happened with the 103 year old lady, who, by the way, saw an angel (young looking, long-haired, and handsome, she described him to us, being a trained, professional artist all her life) not long after Mom led her in the Sinner's Prayer!
