According to his sister Becky, Perry is now on very strong pain meds to keep him at peace and pain-free in his final days. He had a hard time last week posting on FB and I think he's just not able to put together words as well since being medicated. I don't think TW or FB will hear from him again. Now is what I guess we could say is a long goodbye. It hurts to type this because it makes it more real that Perry is dying.
When I first met Perry in person, it was a forum meeting, like all my friends I'd become close on TW, it was as if I'd known him all my life. We had a good visit the two times he came and I was always so admirable of his caring for raising money for childhood cancer.
When his first cancer (kidney) occurred, it was almost surreal since he was so concerned for so many years for children with cancer. I was worried this second time and the type would "get him" and sadly it has.
I know being forum friends, we can all fight and fuss, get aggravated at each other but like family, we still can love and care about each other. Perry has seemed like family even when he and I wanted to wring each other's neck! LOL! And I will miss him till the day I die. His encyclopedia knowledge of weather and events. His love of Georgia and Bama football, the Braves and racing.
He's still with us right now, so just in case he logs in....tell him how much he means to you or just a kind word his way....I'll link it to FB...his sister Becky is supposed to continue to post updates and hopefully is reading the messages to him!
Perry, you've touched many lives, inspired people and you are so loved. You will never, ever be forgotten!! You are going to see that sweet Mama you have missed for many, many years!! God bless you dear friend...until we meet again...
