Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

To the Perkins Family, To lose a loved one in death is tragic. The grief and sorrow can be overwhelming. Your need for comfort is granted through the comfort coming from the God of all comfort. (2 Cor. 1:3,4) "For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death...." -1 Thess. 4:14

Mrs. Perkins was my mother's classmate and friend I truly was honored to get the chance to be in her special presence please know to the family are not alone I loved her and we have a hope of seeing our loved ones again.

Brian, Faith and Family - So sorry to all of you for the loss of your Mom and Grandma. We are sure she will be greatly missed and we all look forward to enjoying her association and wonderful personality again in Jehovah's new world. Richard & Eileen Stratton

My deep deep condolences to the Perkins family: May you reflect on the precious memories that you made with your loved one. I would like to share what helped us when our precious daughter died and later when my precious husband fell asleep in death as well. I appreciated the calls and visits from all over the U.S. but I recall just sitting down and reading different Scriptures and meditating on them. It was so comforting to read that God cares for us personally... (1Peter 5:6, 7). Yes, He cares, He sees our pain & feels it. And, He Jehovah God will in His due time do away with All sicknesses & death (Isaiah 33:24 & Isaiah 25:8). He is indeed a God of comfort. Oh, wow He promises the hope of seeing our precious loved ones again (John 5:28, 29) and says where (Psalms 37:11). He always keeps His word. I hope that these few Scriptures were of some comfort to you as they were to me.

Dear Brian and Faith, Merrill and I had so many happy times together, I will miss her till I see her again. Job 14:15 "You will call, and I myself shall answer you." Love, Sally

Dear Brian, just wanted to say how sorry I am for the lost of your mom. Hope that in reaching out to you and letting you know it’s alright to cry, mourn & scream. that eventually time will heal the stinging wound of death brings to us all.

Sincerely,
