The Persic Family,
Although I really don't remember meeting your mother, Malinda, I gather from the article in The Bee that she truly was a wonderful and loved woman. I do know that she raised two beautiful and loving daughters, Joan & Therese. Please accept my condolences, may God give the Persic family strength to cope with this terrible loss, and may God bless Mrs. Persic and have mercy on her soul.

We were so sorry to read about Mrs. Persic's passing. How blessed you were to have your mom for so many wonderful years.
I don't know if Steve and/or Theresa will rememer, but we all went to high school together many years ago.
May God bless each and every one of you and may you find great joy as you share all the beautiful memories.
Thoughts and prayers,

Dear Persic Family,
There was never a time that I wasn't welcomed graciously and wholeheartedly into your home by your wonderful mother, and all of you Persics, ever since I first began coming there at the age of 10. Now that we have all traveled from those days onto the other side of our lives, I/we have been blessed in knowing your kind, warm, beautiful, and loving mom and the wonderful family she and your dad raised together - all 5 of you. I will never forget her with her fabulous smile and positive humor, which each of you carry on. I am so happy to know, also, that now we have another angel in Heaven to continue encouraging and smiling over us as she joins her Heavenly Father and all of her and my loved ones already there. She, was and will always be, in all of our memories, a great lady!
Love, Diane Day Slavich & Family
