Dearest Altoya,

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Praying that the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, will continue to comfort and strengthen you during this most difficult time and in the days to come.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Ruverta J. Holmes & Family

Dear Altoya:

Words can not express our heartfelt sadness at the passing of Perry. But we would have you take comfort in knowing that he now stands in the presence of God perfectly whole,in a body free from all hurt and pain. We also want you to know that even though you feel like your hurt will never stop, God is watching out for you and after a while when it seems like the sun will never shine, He will send the rays of his love shining down on you. We are keeping you lifted in prayer daily.
