My deepest sympathies go out to the Perry family.. I did not know Ed personally but my boyfriend Ste-j was bestfriends with him. It was a shock when he came to me and told me what had happened.. Ste-j spoke highly of him and what he told me he was a very special person that touched many lives and he seemed like a great person to be around and was able to make you smile on the cloudiest day. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.. I am so sorry for you lost.

To The Perry Family. It was indeed a great shock to hear about the loss of Ed (Lil E). I loved his sense of humor and his spirit. I met him through one of my closest and dearest friend, his cousin, "Muffin" when he was barely 16 yrs old. He was a sweetheart then, and he always will remain a sweetheart in my heart. The family, especially the "girls" are in my thoughts and prayers.

To Mrs. Diane and Mr. Perry, Please know that you had raised up a wonderful and sweet young man. He was always smiling and willing to help a friend in bind at the drop of the time. He had so much energy and he LOVED you both very much and his beautiful Princesses. I never thought that I would last talk to him on Saturday evening just to hear him say that we have a lot of catching up to do. Ed was my brother, my friend and now my inspiration to leave life to the fullest. He was a GREAT friend, so loyal. There is no other like him. He was filled with love and always giving. He was not a taker or a user. He will be missed by so many who was blessed to be in his presence. I love Brah! Your sister, Country.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will miss you always.

Please stay encouraged!
