My sincere condolences to all of the Perkins family on your loss of Bessie. Such a bright star in Gods heaven and an Angel on earth to all who knew her. Her friendship to me didn´t happen until 1979 when I joined the dealership. Such a cheerful pair Will And Bessie were all the years I was honored to know them. I valued and blessed their friendship so very much . True family in so many ways to me. True disciples of Christ ; they both gave service to all . Now they are with Jesus; whole in health and in beauty of youth for all eternity. As I give thanks for all this family for all they meant to my family and the losses that came my way. I remember that the Lord said that "this journey may not be easy, but it would be worth it". I pray for you all for all the Joy and Peace that your Heavenly Father can give. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ until we meet again. Pete Tetley

Pam, Tom, Karen, and Sandy, your mom was a blessing to our family. When I was in high school, your mom, Laberta Dewhirst, and George Van Zyl came to our house and shared the gospel with my mom. I had accepted the Lord through attending Sunday School at Evangelical Pres. My mom became a believer that day. I remember your mom giving me a hug as I was in tears. Later that evening, because it was fresh in my mind God allowed me to share that same message with my dad. I was so thankful that I had the words to speak to him. When I talked to my mom on the phone this afternoon, she remembered that moment when she accepted the Lord over 50 years ago. She is 92 and will be 93 in August and has dementia. I am so thankful that I know my mom will be joining your mom in heaven one of these days soon. I will be praying for your family as you grieve her passing and celebrate her life!
