Dear Robin: My condolences on your mom's passing. How lucky for you all that she was with you for such a long time. Your mom was such a sweetheart, always had a smile on her face. I will never ever forget how she was the first person ringing our doorbell the night Steve was killed. She was a great comfort to all of us. I miss seeing you and think about you and your mom all the time when I drive or ride my bike past the house.

To all the Purdys--So Sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a dear friend of my Mom's and I'm sure she single-handedly is responsible for the success of Christ the King and Mount Carmel. My brother, Bill, who passed away just a few weeks before her, was so fond of her.

To the Purdy Family - I loved Tiny -- she was our "Aunt" and my mom's best friend. I thank her for all she did for our family and always being there for my mom!!! At my mom's funernal -- she said to me that she doesn't want to be sick - she wants to go fast (the hardest for those who are left) but a wonderful way for her. She went out in style -- even got her hair done to meet all her friends!! I will miss her - we will all miss her. What a beautiful woman and wonderful heart -she always...
