Dear Aunt Nancy and family,

We loved Uncle Bob and will truly miss him. We are, however, comforted by the knowledge that he went home to be with our Lord. As is written in the Bible, "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." May your faith sustain you during this time of grief.

Love,

Roxie and Butch

Mrs. Perry, Pam, Robbie and Maryann,

I was so sorry to read about your husband and father. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time -- and will be in the days and weeks ahead.

Seems like I can still see Mr. Perry waving from your driveway in Pomeroy as he got into his car when I was visiting (way back when) my grandparents, May and Ernest Stern. (You and your family were always a blessing and good neighbors to them. Thank you for all that you did and the time spent visiting with them.)

Although when we know our loved ones are with the Lord and rejoice in that fact, our hearts here on earth ache and miss them so. May our great Comforter help you through those difficult times and provide loving and thoughtful friends to walk with you.

Most sincerely,
LuAnn Stern Glaister

Dear Perry Family,
I'm so very sorry for the loss of Mr. Perry. He was such a nice man, and I will always remember hearing him whistle and sing while doing the yard work. I have many fond memories of him and the rest of the family from my childhood.
I'm very sorry I missed the service, I was unaware of his passing until this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. If you need anything, please let us know, our doors are always open.

Dear Nancy and family,
We are sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We very much enjoyed you as neighbors in Pomeroy for the short time we were there. I remember fondly Bob helping me to start my garden and answering all my silly questions. I especially enjoyed how he would share your garden with us. The beans and green squash were always delicious. Nancy I always enjoyed your wisdom that you gave me about your beautiful roses. We rejoice in knowing he is with our Lord and Savior now. May God comfort you and your family in the days ahead.

In Christ,
Rich and Linda Arner and Mom
