Please accept my sincere condolences. There is so little anyone can say at a time like this but I do want you and your family to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Aunt Sharon
Daddy I don’t know where to begin to describe how much we will miss you. I keep thinking that’s it’s just a bad dream and you’ll be sitting at the kitchen table like you always are. You were the best Daddy anyone could ever have been blessed with. Give my girls a kiss when you see them. I love you. Xoxo
Marie,
I am so sorry to learn of Henry’s passing. My heartfelt thoughts go to you and your family. Henry was a wonderful man and always had a smile whenever I saw him.
Sincerely,
Cousin Ken
So very sorry for the loss of your Dad. He must have been very proud of the family he and his wife Marie had. I don’t know all the Perry children, but the ones I do know are very nice people. That is a reflection of good parents. Think of all the special times you shared together to help get you through this difficult time. A strong family brings great support at times like these.
