Mrs. Perry was my teacher for an introduction to art class at Delta State in the late 70's. I didn't know her well, but was impressed that she could take all of us no-talents in the class and show us how we could create art. I still have a couple of my works from that class. And I still enjoy creating art from time to time. Thank you, Mrs. Perry.
To her family, my prayers go up on your behalf. I know the pain of losing someone you love so deeply.

Lallah gave me my first professional award in a show she juried on the coast. I still have her critque and those words will forever ring in my ear. I painted next to her an in awe at MS Art Colony for several years. She was a huge inspiration and I will miss her presence.

I was so sorry to hear that Lallah had died. She was a really nice, very talented lady. Lallah was very kind to me when I started teaching at MCC 20 years ago.

It sadens me to loose such a great artist and teacher. Lallah was one of the most interesting and talented people I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with.

I was so sorry to hear of Lallah's passing. I will remember her as a passionate artist, a talented teacher and a loyal friend. I always enjoyed her dry sense of humor. My husband and I spent may pleasant evenings cooking, talking and drinking a little wine at her house on Poplar Springs Drive. She was a very unique person and will surely be missed. My thoughts are with her family.
