Funeral Services for Bruce Perkins

[Note: Friends of Justice is a personal blog. I speak only for myself.]

Carol called me this afternoon. She sounded very tired. But reconciled that Bruce was finally at rest.

She does regret Bruce not ever getting to meet so many of his friends before he left. I told her we all knew and loved Bruce, the kind man, the gentle giant, the good friend. We didn’t need to physically meet him.

We, who know the story, and how he endured, with grace, 30 years of the slings and arrows of cruel and outrageous fortune, rose above it with his dignity intact, and at least got out of the Texas hellholes for the last year of his life, —-we admire the perseverance, his courage, the integrity, his faith and trust in his Lord,—-the strength and love of Carol, his wife who stood by him all those years. Brave, tough folks.

Carol asked me to forward along the information re Bruce’s funeral service.

He’ll be waked at:

Corley Funeral Home
418 N. 13th St.
Corsicana, TX 75110

(Funeral Home Phone: 903-874-3755)

Service to begin at 2 PM, Saturday, August 1, 2020.
