Kenzie & Corey, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved your Dad. The times I saw him, he had a great sense of humor, I remember Kenzie painting his toenails when he was napping one time, and he just laughed it off.
I know you and his whole family will miss him, he was truly one of a kind. I also know that he and your mother raised two fine young men, two men that I am proud to call my nephews. My heart goes out to all of you.

Brenda and beloved family of Rossie. I am so sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers during this difficult time. Rossie and my James (Perkins) shared room(311) together a Guardian Care. What a nice family especially Rossie, how your family cared and asked about James until his passing May 16, 2011. Take care and remember you are not alone.
Love, Beverly Hawkins in Memory of James Perkins.

Brenda, we are so sorry for your loss.This is a big loss for us as well.We will keep you and the family in our prayers.Rossie was a good person and there are many people who will miss him.May God take you in the palm of his hands and ease your pain.I will think of Rossie and the times he thought he was calling Johnny on his cell phone,but he actually called our home phone at 3 or 4 in the morning and woke me up...he got the biggest laugh out of that and telling Johnny about what he'd done and what I said..I will always remember that and hold it in my heart.We both loved him and will never forget him.If there is anything we can do,let us know.
