My Dearest Peri,
It was an honor to have known you and Chris; and to have been your friend. I will miss you both. From the very first day that we met, I felt a closeness to you. You called me over to tell me that I reminded you of someone dear to you and that was the start of a wonderful friendship. I remember the day we danced at my wedding and all the other wonderful memories we shared together. I will cherish them always. I look forward to the day we meet again. Love Bonnie

Peri:

I'll never forget you and your kindness to me. You treated me like a son and I will always be truly touched and honored because of it. I'll never forget your wise advice and direction. Your love and generosity were inspiring and the knowledge I gained from knowing you will stay with me forever. I'll always wish for more time with both you and Chris and regret the lost moments. The wonderful dinners, afternoons at your home, your laughter and life will remain in my mind and cheer me as my days go by. You will always be one of the brightest lights in my life and I’ll miss you terribly until I see you again.
