Velma;
I was sad to learn of Perry’s death. You are in my thoughts and prayers. It was always my privilege to help Perry with his supplies when he needed them. It must be especially hard for a Mom to watch her son suffer. You are a special lady!
Hugs & prayers,

I was very shocked to hear of Perry’s passing. We worked together at the bus company Mayflower as well as Laidlaw. Losing ones child is never easy, my heart goes out to Perry’s Mother as well as the rest of the Family. He is with God now, looking down upon all of us. He will be sadly missed.
