Dear Brenda & Family:
Our hearts go out to you and the family for the lost of your husband/father. He will be truly missed. (sure you right)
John 14:1-4
Let not your heart be troubled:ye believe in God, believe also in me.In my father's house are many mansions:if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
We will keep you and the family in our prayers.

In times of sadness remember: "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken."
(Psalm 62:1-2)
To Brenda, Carol, Frank, Sr., and relatives:
Please accept my deepest condolences. Maurice was truly a man loved and admired by many and will be greatly missed. His presence was a warm, kind, and gentle spirit and he could make almost anyone smile. While separated by distance, ours was a friendship akin to that of David and Jonathan and I will always love and miss my Brother and Friend.
Fraternally,
Harvey L. Woodson, Jr.

My deepest sympathy to you and family members of the lost of your love one. I know when all is said
and done that your faith will see you through. At this time it seems
like joy have left your spirit, but
behold the majesty of the Lord who will wipe your tears away and comfort you in his loving arms.
Love Joyce Owens & family

To the family of Maurice Perry;
I was shocked to learn of Maurice's passing today via a telephone call that I received.
May this prayer be of comfort and aid in strengthening you at your time of need;
"O you who believe, remember Allah, remembering Him frequently and glorifying Him morning and evening.
He it is Who sends His blessings on you, and so do his angels, that He may bring you forth out of utter darkness into the light and He is merciful to the believers (Prayer is better than sleep.)" (Holy Quran 33:41-43)
I will always have many fond memories of Maurice from our first meeting at Chelsea Jr. High, through A.C. High and into our adult years.
He was my A.C. High Football Team-mate and Co-Captain, my brother in the "Fellas (FUATA) Social Club", my A.C. High Track Team-mate and lifelong friend.
Even though our adult years have taken us in different directions and in great distances geographically from one another, the love that I still have for him is great and will be forever!!!!!
May you forever rest in peace and may your spirit forever be in the presence of "ALLAH".
Peace and Blessings,
Clint Walden
