In Loving Memory of Tom Perdue

"When you're sad and when you're lonely, and you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all that you've held sacred, falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end..."
-Bob Dylan
On the morning of March 19th we quite suddenly lost our dear father William Thomas Perdue to Bronchitis complications.
He left behind his lovely wife Jill, his son Ryan, his daughters Becca, Erica, and Chelsie and his beloved granddaughters, nieces, nephews, brothers, and friends.
Because Tom died on the first day of spring we are weaving the metaphor of new beginnings into his passing, and as a family we are moving forward in deeper connection with each other than ever before and celebrating the breath of fresh air our father was to everyone he met.
In the wake of his passing, and as we rebuild our family in his absence, our most immediate concern in our mother, who was left behind with various financial expenses including unexpected memorial costs.
We understand this is a tricky time economically. In lieu of flowers, or cards we are asking those who knew and loved Tom and his family to consider donating whatever they can afford to our campaign without creating any more personal hardship.
An enormous thank you to all the love and emotional support that has come our way already.
Our father was the most generous, committed, loving, playful man we knew and this loss hit us hard. We also know that Tom was an optimist; a spiritual man who knew how to find peace amidst the storm and he never gave up on love or family. We channel his tenacity and grace as we navigate this next chapter of our lives.
Thanks again for anything you can do to help!!
Love,
The Perdues (Go Giants!!!) :)
Ps. Please consider donating even if you're a Dodgers fan. lol :)
