Godspeed, Perry. Sorry I never met you, but feel I did know you through my relationship to your loving wife, Malia.
Perry was a dear and caring neighbor and friend. I always felt safe knowing that Perry lived next door to me! He had joined my family’s Thanksgiving celebrations every year since his first wife’s passing. And once Perry and Maria married, she too became part of our gatherings. All of my extended family cared deeply for Perry(and Maria) and we will miss him as we gather together to give thanks this year for our many blessings. I extend my sincere heart felt thoughts and prayers to Perry’s family and loved ones.
With love, Ann(and my Mother, Margaret)
Maria, we are truly sorry to hear about your loss. Perry is in a better place.No more pain or misery only happiness.

Hello Mahlia:
My heart goes out to you and Perry’s children for your loss. May God bless all of you with strength and peace during your grieving.
Perry lived a good, full life, from what little even I know. It was a privilege and an honor to meet Perry and have a few conversations with him.
May God bless his soul, have mercy on him and take him into His bosom and welcome Perry home.

Dear Auntie Malia–
I’m so sorry to hear of uncle Perry’s passing. He is resting with His maker now; and, I pray that God’s peace is with you as you deal with his death.
May the Lord gives you the strength moment by moment to move on with your life. Think of the happy memories you shared together. I will continue to pray for you.
Aloha-Amie
Maria, our heart goes out to you at this time of lose.
Please know that we’ll remember you in our prayers.
Be encouraged, Perry was so special. Love and prayers , Bob and Lucile
I didn’t know your husband knew of Molokai! I’m a Molokai girl and Phyllis has Molokai relatives also.
As a widow myself, I send you my heartfelt condolence as I have never found another man like my husband. Take care!
Priscilla
Oh Auntie, I’m so sorry. Please let me know if there is anything I can help with. I know we’re a little far away, but please let me know if there is anything you need.
I know he was in pain a lot of the time and so uncomfortable with his current condition. I know it’s hard to think that way when you’re missing him, but Uncle is in a better place now. I know you said when this finally happened, that you would celebrate his life – and not be sad. I hope you can still remember that when you get to feeling sad or lonely. He was lucky enough to be able to do the things he wanted to. He enjoyed the life he was given. Like somebody said: Let us pass over the river, and rest in the shade of the trees. Well that’s what he’s doing. We’ll all be together again one day, and he’s got to rest up for when you get there!!
We’re so lucky we were able to spend time with him last month. He was so fortunate to have you Auntie. You took such good care of him.
I love you Auntie, and I’ll keep you and Uncle (and the rest of his family) in my prayers.
Love,
Charm and family

Hello Mrs. Maria, I am sorry for your loss. Just last night I was telling my mom that I had to call you today to see when the last day was for the Avon because she wanted me to order her something. She said to tell you that you are in her prayers. If you need anything please feel free to tell me because I am here for you. Again we are sorry for your loss.
Dear Maria,
we are so sorry to hear that your husband has passed and we want to speak out our condolence. May God keep you and the entire family in comfort and that he might see you through this hard time.

My deepest sympathy with passing of your husband. My prayers are with you and the family. Much Aloha Pasha Dickson & Ohana
Aloha Maria,
It’s interesting to know that you have Perry’s ashes with you as I still have Cliff’s ashes with me too.
I am taking my time about taking him “home” to Hawaii to the Punchbowl Cemetery. Probably next year or 2010. I like having him home with me for now.
Can’t believe it’s been 2 and 1/2 years since he went to be with our Lord, 1/11/06.
My prayers continue to be with you.
Ke Akua me ke Aloha,
Rozita
Malia,
Paul and I hope that you are doing okay under the circumstances. We are sorry to hear the news about Perry. Even though we never met him, we felt like we knew him because we would hear about him from you. You always looked like the sun whenever you mentioned him. Therefore, we knew that the two of you meant a lot to each other. Even though he is not physically here, his spirit will always be with you. We are terribly sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
T. Murrell/Paul Lee

Dear Maria, we just got our power back last night (Sat) from the Hurricane Ike. So, I didn’t read your message until today and very sorry to hear that your husband Perry passed away. He and Donna was so kind to me and treated me like one of their children. I’ll miss him. But, I am so glad that I had a chance to see him before I left VA. My sincere condolence to you, Marcia and Walter. My prayer is with you.
Love, Sue

My dear Maria,
My deepest condolences to you and the family.
My prayers are with you and will pray for Perry as well. May his soul rest in peace.
He lived a long and fruitful life and seemed to be happy with you. You are always a symbol of sunshine in all our lives.
You can call on me any time. I understand loss.
Ke Akua me ke Aloha,

I am so sorry for your loss Auntie. I just found out now through this email. I hope you are doing ok. Uncle Perry is in a better place and looking over you.
It’s good to be close to family. I know now when Joey is gone that I wish I had family here. When do you think you’ll be moving, I hope we at least get to see you before your big move.
Love,
Ilinka and the kids
Malia,
We both were very sorry to hear about Perry’s passing. We only hope that
he didn’t suffer. I didn’t really know Perry that well. Outside of meeting
him when you two got married, I only talked to him a few times over the
phone. But from those conversations I was convinced that he was a pretty
nice guy. I’m sure you will miss him.
If there’s anything we can do to help, please let us know.
Our Deepest Sympathies,
George and Aki
Perry was a special person. I feel like I knew him for a long time and knew his loves and interest. He always made me smile. I know he will be missed. I am glad he is comfortable now. My thoughts are with the entire family.
God bless you and the family Mrs. Carle ( Madam President ) the Harris’

Only God holds the mysteries of the universe, and the deepest intricacies of love and life. What He did leave us to know is that He is good, faithful, and true. I thank God that He allowed my wonderful grandmother to be cared for so beautifully by a kind and loving man.
Grandma, you and Perry’s children and grandchild are in our sincerest and most humble prayers. I am confident that He will give you continued strength, guidance, and wisdom as you journey.
God bless you, Perry, and although you’re missed I am sure that nothing compares to the endless peace and precious light that surrounds you now in heaven.
Love and blessings,
