To the Perron Family. Sending you all my deepest condolences on the loss of your husband, son, brother and friend.I only met Craig briefly but was touched by his kindness to a stranger. I lost my sister in 2004 and I feel your loss and shock since hers was also an untimely passing. He lives on in your hearts and memories.

To The Perron Family
I met Mr. Perron when we moved to Savannah just over three years ago when we needed our taxes done. We are a retired couple with zero income this past year and in March when I went to sign our e-tax statement, he didn't charge us any fee. He said we needed a break and he gave us one. I was very saddened to learn of his passing. He was a very nice man who was very happy with his family and his life here. My thoughts are with you.

I was so sorry to learn of Craig's death. Didn't get to see either of you when you were here, but saw you 'coming and going' with Pami.

May you have peace as you travel this new path.
