Our condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the Perks family….

I am a distant cousin, as my Mom was Julia’s first cousin ( Bertha -Anton’s). Marcus and Tony being my uncles.

I had not spoken to Julia in a long time, however I as a child new most of the family members through Mom.

When I spoke to Julia the last time we had a very lovely conversation about family. I know that she was met in heaven by Angels, Bill, her brothers and sisters and all of the extended family. May she rest in peace.

Please care for each other in this difficult time just as Julia would have.

Sincerely

Deborah Jans ( Bourbonnie)

Our Sincerest Condolence to the Perks Family

I will miss talking to your Mother as she had so many pleasant memories of the years gone by.

She was a great lady and always had time for everyone.

Condolences to my Perks cousins. As a "city cousin" I didn't get the opportunity to see your Mom all that often, but I know that she was always welcoming and was always able to laugh. I had a great conversation reminiscing with her about raising kids - your Mom was a gem! I'm sure her homecoming was a grand one - love all around.

Christmas blessings to all of you and celebrate as though she is here. She is still with you in spirit!

Hey Perkies, here we are at the end of an era with your mum’s passing. She was an angel on earth in my books. And your biggest fan, always so proud of you and yours.

The forms that love take are by nature arising and dissolving in each moment. For this is the way of form. But love itself is that which never comes and goes. Our Auntie knows she is loved and always was so loving.

I’ll miss her so, but am so grateful for her time with us. I loved making her laugh and that mischievous grin is imprinted in my memory. A beautiful soul, an extraordinary woman, an incredible legacy.

Love, Diane

My condolences to all Perks family on the loss of your mom and grandmother. She was a loving and kind lady. The last of my dad’s siblings. Who will I go to now, to ask those questions about the past? I will miss you and our wonderful visits. I’m sure you’re all having a great party up there. I love you Auntie!

To many fond memories of my childhood with the Perks family. I spent many hours with them and enjoyed the friendships. Julie was such a wonderful, patient and kind person. She will be missed. Condolences to all of her wonderful family.

Hey Aunt Julie,

Your family is in my prayers. I ask Creator to give them all that they need to get through this tough time.

I know that you don't need my prayers. You're home. No stops along the way. You lived your life in a good way. Your work is done. I'm happy for you.

Thanks for the best shortbread cookies ever!

To Aunt Julie's family, a 'communion of Cousins,'

How blessed I have been over the years, to be included in Aunt Julie's extended family. In the last few decades, we shared many rich "Elder" moments: stories from the '40s and '50s. We compared traditional family recipes; reflecting on growing up, our adventures in teaching and our own ongoing faith journeys. Laughter or tears often enriched our experience. Aunt Julie maintained an openness to new ideas. Her faith and trust in her God allowed her wisdom to flow in abundance.

May all her gifts and her love, so richly shared, now bless each of you.

Peace, Ron (and Sharon) Hagel

My Godmother, Aunt Julie, always had a special place in my heart. We had some nice phone visits in recent years. I always thought she had a lot in common with the Queen and considered her our family Queen. Love you, Aunt Julie.
