Perry Paul Batson, WWII veteran with numerous medals, wonderful provider and husband to Anna R. Batson; cherished father to Peggy Batson Cowick and Martha Batson Comberrel; greatly remembered grandfather to Christopher Charles Comberrel and Lauren Rae Cowick. We will always love you and miss you greatly. You continue to be the wind beneath our wings...
Our wonderful father was taken home to heaven January 9, 1999. We will miss him and think of him daily. This poem is a tribute to this wonderful man we love.

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew his masterpiece was complete,
and he was known as Our Dad.
