Grandma your legacy will never die since you grounded us all with your love for Jesus and taught us how to love unconditionally with no hate or judgment on others and to pray for the ones that have wronged us, hurt us, etc. I will always turn to the lord and pray for everyone as you did and especially more when I’m troubled since I can no longer call you for your words of encouragement and my aunt’s. I have much comfort knowing that you are finally at rest with my aunt and the rest of our loved ones. Until we see each other again Grandma be our guardian angel. Love you love you much!
May the Lord hold Mrs. Perkins close in his heart and hands for all eternity. I am so so sorry for your loss. Carrie your grandmother always was good to me. I have been comforted many times over the years by her, even as she let me cry on her shoulders. I will always remember her beautiful smile and loving tenderness. Although I will not be able to attend her services I will be there in spirit. She is in heavenly peace with her family members who have passed before her. All my love to you and your family.
