I think about Rayford often. He often comforts me in my low moments. His strength and his own determination from beyond. The story of his life drives me to pick myself up when I fall down. To honor his memory and sacrifices. Rest in peace to a Β man who did his best with what he had.Β

A year has gone by since your passing. I must admit that it hasn't gotten any easier to live life without you. I miss you so incredibly much! Today I am entering a drug rehabilitation program. I know you would want it this way. It is time that I take back my life.  I wish you were here. I'm so sorry i didn't do this sooner. . I love and miss you sweet husband. You're in my heart and soul forever ❀️. .

I enjoyed going fishing with Wendell. Among other things. We had our ups and downs but we remained friends. I hope to see my friend again one day! I will love you always..

I'm so sorry to see you go. I've always known you to be the funny uncle. Someone who's relatable and real. You had so much personality and depth to you if only you had more time. Time is valuable, and death is final.

Rest easy,

A beautiful life that came to an end, and I know you are in a better place, a place of Peace and Harmony closer to God. Wendell died as he lived. You’re everyone's friend and joyful being. In our hearts, a memory will always be kept, / of one we loved, and will never forget.
Have faith that the God who unified you here on earth, even though we are now separated by death, will reunite us in heaven to work on the High Tech Computer you love here on earth. As my memories recall itself when we last visited you in Dallas in 2003, we worked on your computer for more than 4 hours and got it to work.. and we will do it again when we have reunited again in the innermost city of God. Β 
Nothing will replace you, my brother-in-law Wendell, but like Rays of Sunlight, fond memories can break through the gloom, may your soul be warmed by the warmth of those Raysβ€”Ray! Thank you for the gift you gave me and Jocelyn – Kendall and Whitley. They/we will always love you. Bye for now - Friday

Penny, Joshua, and Raynard send our condolences to the Perkins family on the loss of your beloved brother and our cousin, Wendell Rayford Perkins. I would like to share this poem in his memory.

LOVE πŸ’• IS IMMORTAL

LOVE is pure energy and
No matter how hard you try,
You can never kill love
Because pure energy can’t die
The feeling of love can fade,
And the body can cease to give,
But the energy created by love
Is immortal and continues
To live. (Anonymous)

β€˜And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:7 Amen.
Penny, Joshua & RaynardπŸ™πŸ½

All of our condolences to the family. We were saddened to hear of the passing of Wendell, and wanted to let you all know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Wendell was so funny and always had the best sense of humor. He will missed by many. To Kendall and Whitley, we haven’t had the chance to know you, but we have always been thinking about you both. Our door is always open and we look forward to the chance of getting to know you.
