Dearest Leela,
Leland & I just recently learned of the home going of Perky. We have thought of the 2 of you often since we moved from Massachusetts. I have missed your "motherly" conversations and Perky's gentle spirit. We will all meet again in our heavenly home & I am surely looking forward to that time.
God be with you in your time of sadness.
With love, Nancy & Lee

Dear family of Perky,

I met with Perky for only the second time last week. On this occasion, I came to admire him and respect him very much. I so appreciated how he was answering my questions of his background in his homeland. He took time with me to teach me so much valuable history. We talked for about a half hour, at least. I quickly came to notice that he must surely be very spiritual. Thank you for being part of his story. I've thanked him and the Lord for having me be moved, albeit so briefly, by his kind and intelligent way. I know you'll grieve his loss, and you'll have sorrow at times, but I know there is a wonderful afterlife where he he now will live forever. My beliefs tell me so. I have prayed that I'll have the chance to meet him again after I pass someday. The kindness he spoke to me with was truly felt. Again, it was amazing to just know a man one evening and be very moved nonetheless.

God bless,

- Gé Doran
