Everyone has been affected so greatly by the death of my brother Mike Perry. He was an amazing man.... He meant so much to so many.
We would like to have a place where anyone can go when they need some time to reflect on a problem, to find peace or just to remember good times. The intention is to request a memorial bench along Policemans Path in Hyde Park. This will hopefully give many people pleasure whether they knew Mike or not. Hyde Park was a special place to Mike and was his final resting place in a peaceful, secluded area. His memory will live on in our hearts and minds always, but we know he would want to continue doing good even if only in spirit through all his lovely friends, colleagues and of course his closest loved ones. If we are able to raise enough along with Mike's family input, it would mean there would be the bench for all to use and a substantial donation to the Royal British Legion which was a charity close to his heart. So if you want to be part of a special gift for a very special man, then please feel free to donate whatever you can afford. Please don't over stretch yourself as that isn't what Mike would want. He would just want everyone to be part of something that will keep his memory alive for years to come.
Thank you all for your amazing support. Your kind messages and your friendship with a man I am so proud to call my brother. He will live on through all those he touched with his smile and his mischievous laugh. Many many thanks from all of his family.
