To the editor:
My heartfelt sympathy to the people of Perry for the terrible tragedy and loss you all are dealing with.
My late friend who made Perry home, Jeff Webster, would have been absolutely crushed.
May you all find peace.

Longtime resident Treva Melton, who passed away at the end of July, would be so devastated and crushed at the tragic event that has happened in Perry this last week. I used to spend a lot of time in Perry, and it just breaks my heart for everyone in town.
