I’m sorry you ended up this way. Only God knows the truth of what really happened.  It’s not fair for you or your daughter. I hope she is being cared for now. Maybe it was for the best that she is with her bio father.

Our deepest condolences!! 
Our hearts are with you.  Saw your Christmas video on YouTube and am in shock.
Persha shall live on with the Angels!! Your song was beautiful and heartfelt. 

Stay strong and giving light and love please. 

Sincerely,
Lisa and Armando Ricci


Wow! How can we say good bye? I believe we all will meet again. We are still in denial. We miss you so much Persha. You were like a sister from another mom to me. You were as ambitious and strong minded as I am. Probably more. Smile! Our daughters were like sisters. They still are! They play together everyday. 
It has been a while since we were able to meet up in person, but we would like to send our condolences for your family's loss. I feel so sad for our Lays! We will always be there for her and your loving husband.  From the first day we met you and your family, the girls created an instant sister bond at the Avalon; and your family became part of our family. People meet for a reason.  We wanted to do so much together in the future. We both liked houses and design. We had so much in common. We hurt so much right now!
I guess you went on to fulfill a bigger plan. We know You will always be around.  You were a wonderful person. Really! You emanated so much light.
Persha, you all were so welcoming and were very loving and we appreciated the great spirit that you both shared and exhibited during our short times together. Heaven has gotten an angel and a great person that will be missed by everyone that was in your presence. We were hoping to move to Atlanta and continue the good times, now I got to see you later in heaven.

We will continue to pray for your family and Persha, you will never be forgotten. I guess your purpose is complete and heaven wanted it's angel back. We will truly miss you. Love 💘 and Peace to you always.

Sincerely, 
Elvin, Tamara, & Chaiyenne Smith

Persha was a beautiful person both inside and out. She was devoted to her work, but even more devoted to her lovely daughter. I still remember when she locked her keys in her car when going into St. Anthony’s Hospital for work, and she stayed totally calm, cool and collected while she figured out what to do. We had a great talk while she waited, and I still remember the passion she shared when speaking about her daughter. May she Rest In Peace.

Persha you were the most beautiful person I ever met inside and out but. Especially Your infectious smile made everyone around you smile also..Rest in Peace ⚘⚘⚘


Sweet Persha
After all you’ve been through, you always managed to land on top. I can’t wrap my head around this. So sorry for your precious daughter and family 
May you Rest In Peace 

This was my best friend growing up together I will forever remember our  time  growing up together. Taking aunt Della's lawn mower and making us a car. Rolling skating together at the skating rink
 Going to the movies and watching  Rocky  together. Taking my brothers truck when we wanted to go to the store smoking in the barn. Until we meet again my best friend my cousin I love you and I will see you again.
