Not sure what to say?

Ms Purkey was my favorite teacher of all times. She was funny but strict at the same time. I learned a lot from her and it made me want to do better for myself. I will keep the family and friends in my thoughts and prayers. Loosing someone so wonderful in ur life is heart breaking and I know she walks with the lord our savior. She was one of the angels I met here on earth that the lord knew I needed at that time in my life. She will be missed for sure

JUST SPOKE TO HER ON FACEBOOK a few months ago , and she remembered me in her 6 grade school days, i think everyone remembers mrs purkey, because she was THE BEST TEACHER that there ever was in church hill grade school, GOD BLESS HER and HER FAMILY, WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU . NOW YOU ARE IN GOD'S hand . FOR SURE
