Name: Joy Cox Potts Date: 6/19/2023 5:08:58 PM Message: Love and sympathy to you, Perry, in the loss of your wife. Her obituary said you had been married 57 years! Cullen and I have been married 52! I pray that your blessings outweighed the sad times, and that your good memories outweigh the bad. I have lost track of you over the years, but I remember you as one of our class's finest.
