Dear Family...

It has been too many years to mention since I last saw Mrs. Pursley, but I always remember her gentle smile and welcoming ways. Your family has always been very special to me and you all remain in my memory. I'm sorry I didn't know in time to attend the services.

Dear Pursley Family Members,
Clara called me yesterday to tell me the news of her Mom's passing. I know it is a sad time for you all but I was happy to know that Clara was with her Mom when she was taken up to heaven. I will keep you all in prayers during this difficult time.

Love,

Dear Pursley Family,

I appreciated Peggy's call to me and I have been holding Merle in my prayers each day. She will remain in my heart. She was a generous, practical and loving person. Her gratitude to all of you, her family, was vibrant and alive. Her love of life and faith in heaven was an inspiration to me. It was my honor and privelege to offer her body work - a sacred task.

My love to all of you during this time of loss. I know she was such a part of your daily...
