Uncle Perry as I use to call you tears I can he your voice so clear and how you use to like when I made egg salad rest easy you treated me like one of your own
Love you Uncle Perry. Bernice
I miss everything about our years together. I am glad God brought Gloria and I home to take care of you. We really were a team. I miss having you in the house. I miss hearing you calling my name to request "a sandwich and a diet coach." Gloria and I frequently quote you by saying, "Alright! Okay!" We love you, your kind spirit, and the examples you demonstrated. All I can do, right now, is thank Jesus for the opportunity to know you and to have you for a season. Now, you are resting without any stresses of this world. I love you.
To all the friends and family, I am very sorry for your loss. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 shows that God understands our pain and comforts us. He also promises that soon, death will cease to exist (Revelation 21:3,4)
