Although I just this morning learned the news of Perry's passing, it brought back many memories of my minimal involvement in the lives of both Paulyne and Perry's lives. You and Jason are both lucky, as are my two children, John-Park and Katerine -- they got to know their grandparents -- for better or for worse on some occassions -- and with my parents living until 91 and 93, they were able to understand better the significance of what "loss" really means within a family. Your comments really capture very warmly how important Perry was in your life. I know his absence will be gravely felt by all of your family and the staff at the Woodlands for some time. Please accept my condolences. Kay Abell Melissa,

Don't be too quick to rule out pity, however. It's a powerful tool when wielded correctly ;) Actually, the first comment is a bit of a gag from a friend of mine, not the Student in question- but the sentiment to work hard and show initiative is still a valid one.

Have some confidence in yourself and your work. Work hard and show initiative and it will pay off for you more the pity ever could. -another student re:

I'd only know him since Sept. 2008 when I joined the Volunteer Services @ IFOH as the manager. I had lost my grandfather (whom raised me) in July 2008 and when I met Perry there was instantly a connection. We all loved him at IFOH and he will truly be missed. I pray that you and your family find comfort in your fond memories of Perry. Your tribute to him is amazing he looks so at peace and loved. May God bless & keep you doing your time of mourning. Melissa,
