Broad St. PHONE 454-7676 In Loving Memory of JOHN PERKOSKY who passed away one year ago today March 24, 1992 A special day, another year. A loving thought, a private tear. Quietly today, your memory we treasure. Missing You Always, forgetting you never.

Like falling leaves, the tears go by, But memories of you will never die. Deep in our hearts a memory is kept, Of the very best Husband we can't ever forget. If tears could make a pathway, And memories could make a lane, We would walk the road to heaven And bring you back again. So, no matter what this day may bring, No matter what we do, We never close our eyes at night, Without a prayer for you.
