Brenda Davis and I were very close growing up. We spent a significant amount of time together. I have stayed at the Perdians´ house many times. Every time the Perdians´ treated me like one of their own children. They were always friendly, welcoming, open to a conversation and happily invited me to their dinner table. Whenever I saw Mr. Perdian, he always greeted me with a hello and huge smile. The last time I saw him was at Don and Brenda´s wedding reception. As I walked in, he realized it was me and said out loud, Dawn is that you? The huge smile returned and he gave me a big hug! I am sending prayers and love to Mrs. Perdian, Brenda, Don, Molly and D. I extend these prayers and love to Dave, his wife and children and Tom, his wife and children. I regret that I am not physically with you today but am praying for and thinking of you constantly. I know that Mr. Perdian is smiling and beaming with love and pride of and for you all!
