Stephen O'Neal Perret

To Nikki & Family

Again a friend reminded me, how many days are few for someone who becomes a special friend to you.
You get together and you wish thru all the smiles and tears, that you had known each other, for at least a hundred years.
Some friendships last for many years and some for just a day, but who are we to question God and his mysterious ways.
And in the last analysis we thank him with a smile,
For one more friendship on this earth.... If only for awhile.

Nikki, we are soo shocked to hear of your loss. We were unable to pay respect to you and your Perret family, but have put a donation towards your account. Please come visit us in your old neighborhood, we miss you and the kids. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of need. We may never have answers, but one day we will all meet in Heaven. We will sadly miss O'Neal and his great sense of humor and kind heart. We pray for you each night...Your friends...Billy, Leslie, Hannah,...

Nikki... Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. I pray that God will give you the strength you need to get through this. I am here if you need help in any way. You & the kids are in my thoughts & prayers.

I did not know Stephen but if he was like Jonathan, he had good heart. Here is a Irish prayer for all of the Perret family

May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone.

Shawn, Jon, Steve & Debbie,

Over the weekend I looked through the pictures of my kids, and the three boys were in most of those pictures.....even though our children have all grown into wonderful young people with families of their own - pictures and memories testify to the wonderful times they had growing up. I'll always remember O'Neal coming in the morning before school wanting to know what I had for breakfast... he, Rob and Aimee were so close.....birthdays, holidays, hamburgers,...
