Dear Hartlyn and Family,
So very sorry for your loss. Mrs. Perry was always so kind to me and always there with advice.
I’ve been away from Front Royal for a long time now but when I did come back to visit family I would drive by her home and always had fond memories and beach vacations we had.
May she Rest In Peace.
