Purla Curkendall Memoriam
Purla Jean Curkendall
3/16/39 - 11/15/06
Now that I am gone, remember me with smiles and laughter. And if you need to cry, cry with your brother or sister who walks in grief beside you. And when you need me, put your arms around anyone and give to them what you need to give to me. There are so many who need so much. I want to leave you something - something much better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I've known or helped in some special way. Let me live in your heart as well as in your mind. You can love me most by letting your love reach out to our loved ones, by embracing them and living in their love. Love does not die, people do. So, when all that's left of me is love, give me away as best you can. We miss you.
Love Pete, Perry, Guy,
Peter & Brenda.

Jean,
I had a dream about you last night. You were in it, and Pete and Pete Jr. and me and we were all looking for a chair to buy you so that you could sit down and relax. You were content in the dream.
I have thought about you many times in the past year. We all miss you a lot. You meant a great deal to many people. Take care.
