Willie Charles Perkins

Dad

I wanted to let you know that you are in a better place. It’s hard for me to accept the fact you’ve gone home to be with the Lord. Here on earth, we will keep your memory alive, and do whatever it takes to make you proud. I miss you being my problem solver and protector that God sent. I love you forever Dad. I still wish you were here. I am going to be the man you raised. Andre

To my loving father,

You taught me what it takes to be a man. You sacrificed your own personal wants to make sure we were taking care of. You taught me valuable lessons throughout life that will still be applied for years to come. I used to think you were hard on me for no reason. Now I know it was because you wanted me to succeed in life and to become the best version of myself I can be. Everything I do will be in honor of you.

Love Quis
