In Loving Memory of My Father - George E. Perkins, Jr.

May 18, 1937-May 2,2012

It is ten years ago that you were suddently and tragically taken from me.

I think about you often and how through your example I learned the importance of taking care of my responsibilities - plus some unexpected ones on occasion.

I am so thankful that even though I wasn't your biological child, you still raised me - as your own.

I am able to realize a good and healthy life - without the need for material possessions.

You gave of yourself through hardwork and decation to your family.

I know you loved your animals too.

I welcomed you when I meant Mario Andretti recently. I told him you were his fan. He appreciated your loyalty - and so do I.

Your love of autoracing, I keep alive.

I miss you and love you.

I keep your memory alive - always.

Lots of love and a big hug

Your daughter,

Roberta M. Helming of Ledyard
