To the Perry Family:

I want to send you my sympathies, and they are many because Mrs. Perry was so special to my family. She was my grandmother's,Vera Powell, most treasured friend. She was such a comfort to us all when my grandmother died and I will miss her so much. Thinking of you all and praying that your special memories of such an extraordinary lady help you through this time.

Bud and family,
We send our love and wish you strength and faith during this time.
Your mom had a zest for life and passed it on in her love and concern for her friends. We will miss her for many reasons. She was always there to encourage and uplift.
I (Brenda) am very grateful to have had her in my life as a friend and she is truly an inspiration to me.
Thinking of you all,
Love Brenda and Steve

To Buddy and Kenny,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for the recent loss of your sister and mother. Ken and I went to Louisburg College at the same time for two years. Although we have lost touch, I still remember those carefree days and wish you and your family the best.
Your cousin,

Margaret and Clarence were members at Colonial Place Christian Church for a while and were the sweetest and loviest couple. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren. What a wonderful legacy you have to remember her. Our sincere prayers are with you at this time. Nancy and Ken Arno

Nana,
There is such a hole in my life and heart now without you here with us. Peyton is so lucky to have had you for the short time she did, and we will make sure she knows just how special you were to our family. I can only hope that I will be able to bestow the tender love, affection, and generosity on my family the way you constantly did for all of us. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have had you as a part of my life for as long as I did. But that makes losing you so much harder. Sarah and I find peace in knowing that you are with Papa and Suzanne now. Our lives are forever changed by you. And now we all must go on and find ways to stay together, the way in which you always made happen for us. I love you more than words can say. Thank you for a lifetime of love and all that you have taught me. The memories I have of you and the impact you have made in my life will live on forever as Jeff and I raise our daughter. I will think of you everyday.

Love you forever Nana,
Page

Nana,

Words can't express how much I miss you. I think about you everyday and wish I could hear your voice and see your blue eyes one more time. Wednesday's will never be the same without our weekly dinner plans and no one will be able to make corn pudding like you. I would give anything just to hear you say "toodoolu" or "love you too babe" and to watch you hold our son and rock him to sleep. Now my eyes are my bladder Nana (you know what that means). I miss you and love you so much. You will always be a wonderful memory.
