Mrs Perkins was a wonderful neighbor next door with her three beautiful daughter Lori, Sophia and Nichole who I whom I would babysit. I did not make your service . You will never leave my heart. I alway will remember the outings and the songs that we would sing in the car. The tree in the hole, One little two little three little Indians. The whooping cough. And I loved eating your spaghettis. May you rest in peace. Love Payton

I was not at her service, but she was in my thoughts and my heart. I truly, respected, admired, and Loved, Mrs. Perkins. She was more then our next door neighbor, she was our protector, and my Mom's BFF, until my Mom, left this world, in 2001. She taught me to so much. She untroduced me to musicals, plays, and much more. I was her Paulie She always, had time for me. She will always, be a pivotal part of my youth , young adult hood, and who I am now, as I continue to elevate and grow. I Will Always, Love Mrs.Perkins.

Nicole, my sincere condolences to you and your family. My prayers are with you all losing a mother is not easy to digest. God`s word says, Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted Matthew 5:4". Trust God and just take one day at a time.

I have such fond memories of Phyllis visiting my grandparents´ porch during those BBQ parties. She always brought warmth and laughter, asking for help with her grass and inviting me to shop together. I´m truly sorry for your loss and wish I could have attended Ms. Perkins´ funeral. I often remember the times when the three sisters came to visit your mom, and how special those moments were.

Your Mom was a beautiful, kind hearted woman. She was good friends with my older sister Pitt when we were growing up on Glenroy in Morgan Park. May she rest in peace
