What fond memories of Sister Perry. My condolences to the family. I look forward to seeing you in the Resurrection. Rev.21:3-5.
While searching for my neighbors from my old neighborhood recently, I came across the obituary.. I always thought about Stephanie & her family. We were neighbors on Shelter St in Fair Haven many moons ago & together with my sister, we would hang out with Juanita & Percy. & Stephanie was good friends with my mother & I recall how sweet, polite & respectful were Stephanie & her children & my sincere condolences on her passing
