Pastor Ray Perkins

Today we honor the memory of our beloved dad. We are filled with both sadness and gratitude. Sadness, because we must say goodbye to a man who meant everything to us, and gratitude, because we were blessed to have him as our father.

Our dad was more than just a parent; he was our rock, our guiding light, and our greatest supporter. From the moment we entered this world, he was there, with open arms and an unwavering love that knew no bounds. Dad was a man of integrity, kindness, and strength. He taught us the importance of honesty, compassion, and hard work by living those values every day of his life. He was our mentor, our confidant, and our hero. He had a way of making us feel safe and loved, no matter what challenges we faced. His laughter was infectious, his wisdom endless, and his love unconditional. He was the shoulder we cried on, the hand that lifted us up, and the voice that whispered words of encouragement in our darkest hours. As we reflect on the memories we shared with our dad, we are reminded of the countless moments of joy, laughter, and love that he brought into our lives. Whether it was family dinners around the table, or quiet moments of reflection by his side, every memory is a treasure that we will hold dear forever. Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we take comfort in knowing that Dad's spirit will live on in each of us. His legacy of love, kindness, and strength will continue to inspire us and guide us through the journey of life. Dad, as we say goodbye today, we want you to know that you will always hold a special place in our hearts. Your love will be our compass, guiding us through the storms of life. Your laughter will echo in our memories, bringing us comfort in times of sorrow. And your spirit will live on in the lives of those you touched with your kindness and grace.

Love,
