My Dear Nick,



You were so special to me, after I stopped my friendship with your Dad, we remained in touch. That's the type of person you were. Even when I was at the construction site at Abington, you stopped by and we had lunch. I will miss that. I know you are in a better place, but all of us who had the pleasure of knowing you, still have a heavy heart because you are that special to us.



Rest in peace.



You will never be forgotten.



Mary

Hope is alive

while we're apart

only tears

speak from my heart

break the chains

that hold us down

and we shall be

forever bound



when I'm tired & weary

and a long way from home

I reach for Mother Mary

and I shall not walk alone



- Ben Harper from " I Shall Not Walk Alone"

Nick, you will be truely missed. You were not only a great friend, you were family. You were like a brother to me and an uncle to my son who goes to sleep every night with Mr. Night that uncle Nick gave him. We will always have you in our hearts and you will always be part of our family.

Precious Nick,

Thank you...for bringing sunshine to all who knew you. For being there when needed, and for your caring, loving ways.

Thank you...For your words of consolation, and for all the joy you brought.

Thank you...For helping to erase our tears and to replace them with a laugh.

Many blessings to you, dear Nick, and we know that God will surround you with his loving care.

Nick Perry was the kind of guy who would make a special trip to your house just to help you change a light bulb - He did it for me many times. We would lose touch off and on, but when we caught up, it was like no time had passed at all. So many of his friends adopted him as part of our extended families. I can't believe I'm not going to come home to one of those random phone messages from him that always began with "Hi Gorgeous" and progressed into something unintelligible but cheerful.

Rest in peace, big guy. Laura and I will miss you. Now you have all the answers.

Little Nick was very special to everyone amongst his family who also called him a good friend. He was our cousin but he always called us Uncle Bob and Aunt Penny, I always loved that he called us that. Your Mom and Dad really raised a wonderful person.

We will all miss you and love you always.

I met Nick in college and we continued to be friends as we both grew older. He was always so nice and positive everytime I seen him. Always asking about my family and if I seen any of our old classmates. We definitely had lots of good times together. He will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace Phil.

To the Perry family, I offer my deepest condolences.
