I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Perkinson. I have such wonderful memories of sleep overs at your home. Would love to get in touch with Rene'. My thoughts are with all of you at this time. I was out of town and missed the notice of funeral/visitation. Love to you all and I hope Mrs. Perkinson is doing well.
