My sweet Lue, you always made me feel as if I was one of your children. I remember many times coming over to talk with you from high school and you always gave me the best advice. You never, as my godmother, forgot my birthday. Year after year I always had A birthday card on my birthday or the day before. Mine arrived December 4, 2019 with such sweet words! (And from Lori). I will cherish this. Always encouraging my faith and you and Werners Love for me. To all my sisters in the Purtzer family, I am sad but glad that your mother is now in heaven with Werner. It is weirdly special that she entered heaven on my birthday. A day she never ever forgot! I could not of asked for better godparents! They are the reason I turned out half as good as I did. I so wish I could be with you all and give you hugs and kisses as your mom always gave me. I know that my Mom and Dad and Werner and Lou are looking down from above planning a fantastic Christmas party for us to celebrate their lives. Peace beyond all understanding be with all of you. It is hard but we were truly blessed with such great parents x 2. ❤
