Memories and Condolences
for Richard Peris
September 15, 2009
Sweetheart,
One year ago we had to say goodbye for now. It was the saddest day. You have been in my every thought and decision since then. The years of sharing a deep love have given me the strength to go on. I hope that I have made you proud. I know we will be together again, and I have decided to try to enjoy the wait. Moving forward doesn't mean that I don't still love you, but rather that the love we shared was so special and strong that it will shield me, surround and protect me forever.
Thank you for loving me and being my one love of a life time.
I love you.
Diane

Dad- there is not a day that I do not think of you and miss you. The whole family means so much to me. You and Mom taught me what it truly meant to have a whole family. When I was with yours I felt safe and loved. I miss you and love you.

Everyone,
Thank you for the support and love you have showed my family in this time of sorrow. As we have said many times over in the last week, Its great that my dad did not have to wait until he had passed to learn how much he was loved. He felt it everyday and knew just how much he meant to others. Often labeled the "quiet man" throughout his life, My dad started to expressing himself more willingly since he got sick. This allowed us, and those around us, to see that even though words were not spoken often, he had deep emotions and feelings inside him. I will miss the quiet man, the baseball coach, the guy with the cool Chevelle, the line dancer, the papa and the friend he was. But most of all I will miss my daddy, my hero. Love Always and Forever, Jenny Penny

Dear Peris family,
“Lord Jesus, our Redeemer, You willingly gave yourself up to death so that all people might be saved and pass from death into a new life. Listen to our prayers; look with love on your people who morn and pray for their dead brother. Lord Jesus, You alone are holy and compassionate; forgive our brother his sins.
By dying you opened the gates of life for those who believe in you; do not let your brother be parted from you, but by your glorious power give him light, joy, and peace in heaven where you live for ever and ever. “Amen
You were a gracious son, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend may you rest in peace. You always welcomed me into your home with no questions asked. I will truly always remember all the good times.
Love,
Tammy,Samantha, Jenna and Anthony Del Santo

Dear Diane, Julie, Sheila, Chris, Jenny and families and Aunt Sharon, I am so very sorry for your loss. Rich was a husband, father (and father in law), and brother with a kind, gentle manner, a man of few words it seemed but somehow he didn't need them. He was a guy with a big heart which was obvious in the love and helping hands he offered not only in big hugs, but swinging a hammer or turning a wrench for his family in need of help. He loved his family, and you are his legacy. He fought a good fight, and now he is in a better place of peace and rest. Not in our time to be sure, but trust that God knows best. HE is merciful and sees your hearts and your sorrows, you are not alone. May fond and fun memories of 'Dad' bring you comfort, until you are together again. Love and prayers being sent your way...

Dear Nana, Julie, Jenny, Chris, Sheila & Family.
I am very sorry about your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you. I am going to miss him at our all night scrapbooks, him coming out and greeting everyone when they get there and also looking for extra food. The love that he shared with all of you was wonderful. I remember every time I came to your house both him and nana welcomed you into thier homes with warm greetings. There wasn't a time that I went there that he didnt give his children a huge and a kiss when entering and when leaving. Lots of great memories. What a wonderful, kind, gentle person. He will greatly be missed. Love you guys.

Faith is Glorious Victory.
I know Richard is smiling down and watching over all of you. He was a great cousin, someone to look up to and be proud of.
May Jesus bless all of you with his love and peace.

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.
