Condolences and prayers to the Perkins family on the loss of Mrs.Perkins. She was a sweet lady that always said GOD bless you when we greeted her. In the few years we got to know her we found out she loved to watch Steve Harvey and eat apple pie with vanilla ice cream. The heavens have gained another Angel🙏🏻 With all our Love Jimmy and Daisy Flores
I have some great memories with Aunt Louise. I grew up with her, she was the best aunt any young woman could ask for. She worked at the elementary school I went to, she would take me out of class just so I could spend time with her. She had a heart of gold. Rest in peace Aunt Louise

I will miss Aunt Louise as we called her so much. I remember every year as she could and would remember she would always say there goes June's granddaughter with the dimples like mine. She always smiled and gave the best hugs each and everytime I was in her presence. My sister Michelle I think was her favorite and now they are both resting safe in his arms. Rest on in Jesus and we know to be Absent From the Body Is To Be Present With The Lord.
My condolences to Ralph, Sandra & family. I didn't personally know Annie but I know Ralph & I am hurting for him. May Annie RIP & May the perpetual light shine upon her.
To Ralph and Sandra May you find comfort in this time of grief. I will always remember Ms. Perkins smile and how she loved to sit outside and wave to everyone who passed by her. May she RIP
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
