I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear Perry. I hope that you will find comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28,29 where he promised that the day is coming when he is going to resurrect back to life those in the grave. Until then, it is just like they are sleeping. (John 11:11-14) May you draw strength from Jehovah, the God of all Comfort.
Mr. Perry was a good man.
