    The Perez family were our neighbors in Hazelcrest and our children associated with each other up to this day. Mrs Perez was a beautiful and kind soul and someone you were happy to have known. I know the family is experiencing harrowing sorrow, but know that your mom is now resting in Gods arms and will walk with you each day. My deepest sorrow is with you.
