Inez A. Purnell Betsey

Hard to believe 21 years have passed since I walked that hallway, and learned you went home to be with your Lord and Savior. You've been joined by several family and friends since then, and one day you and I will be reunited. I still miss you, and wish I could hear your laugh. With time the sound has diminished but if I don't try too hard, I can hea it. Although you are not here with us physically, I know you live on in my memories and I carry you in my heart. I love you to the moon and back.

Explanation Pickle always had my back, Always! But, we were at a hotel in Lansing and the room was in the middle of the building on the ground level. Pickle said Just park the car there and climb through the window. I couldn´t climb through the window, so I had to bounce up to get on the window sill and I asked her "are you going to help me" and she say yeah. I bounced up and fell backwards through the window. I said, I thought you were going to help me? She said you were coming in so fast I...

Carlotta and I was sitting and reminiscing about you. I really miss you. I think about how soft your cheeks were and how you had me pull the hairs from your chin with the tweezers. How you told me you would catch me then stepped back because you didn´t want me to fall on you. Hahaha Love you Pickle

Grandma!! Aunt Debbie and I are at working going down memory lane. More like trying to remember the last time we wrote something. It's been 8 years. I love you so much. It's been almost 20 years since you ascended home. I try to remember the sound of your voice, bur sometimes it escapes me. I can hear you yelling for me, though. Not your normal voice, which I find funny. The phrase that comes to mind that really captures your voice is, "I ain't got ne'r nickle in that quarter." You really...

Happy Mothers Day Pickle
It's almost been 11 years. I heard a song today that made me cry as I thought of you. I miss you so much.

Happy Birthday - this would have your 68th. Yeah - yeah mine is right around the corner. I'm missing you everyday. But, I haven't tried to call you, so that's good. Cherrie and I are going to meet up with Carlotta to help her drive home. I'm sending extra prayers out for the Bond Family they lost Granny today. My children and grandchildren are healthy which is a blessing so I know you're watching over them. Please keep a special eye on my one child (they need it). Tears and typing...

Hey Grandma! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I know you're up there having the best time because everyday is a day to celebrate. Everything is going pretty good right now. I'm going back home in 21 days!!! I can't take it anymore! I miss home so much. But life goes on. Well, as you must already know, I will be getting on a jet plane headed towards Zurich, Switzerland. I'm scared and excited; but more scared, all at the same time. I know you will watch over me. So, no need to be scared, right? Ok, well, there...

Hey Grandma! Life is going ok. Sometimes I wonder why it has to be so hard on the brain though. I can't wait to go back to school. I know, I know...it's not the place that I miss, it's my friends and just being busy in general. Besides, the faster I get back to school, the faster I can get to Miami and then go to Switzerland. And then I can graduate and go to graduate school. I'm thinking NYU. Not sure though. I have to do some more research.

I wish I could have had a job this...
