It is with deepest sympathy to my Dad on the loss of his eldest sister and my cousins Ronnie, Margie Mae, Daria and their spouses, children and grandchildren on the loss of their mother and grandmother, my Aunt Marjorie Perret Amedee. Aunt Margie will always be remembered for her nurturing essence as the eldest of seven who has been the Matriarch of the Perret family since the passing of our grandmother, Daria Darensbourg Perret at the early age of 48 in 1949. May my dad, her children and grandchildren find comfort in knowing she now in everlasting peace with Uncle Clemsy, Scott and joining her dearly departed parents, nieces, nephews, brothers and sister who preceded to watch over all of us from above. A mass will be said in Uncle Clemsy and Aunt Margie's honor at St Dominic Catholic Church in Lakeview. With Love, Charlene and Maddie Perret
