I was saddened to hear this news. There is a special place in Heaven for this precious lady. I have so many wonderful memories of her and Mr. Purdy, good times with them. They were like my "adopted" grandparents for so many years. My deepest sympathies to the family...

we are so sorry for your loss of your mom. be comforted in knowing her eyes have seen God. we send all our love..babara coley's sister sylvia & paul castleberry. we always enjoyed her company, she was such a nice person. may God comfort you in this time of loss...

I am so thankful to have known Ms Frances for the past 10 years. I realize you have lost a special person. She and I shared laughter, worries and yes tears. No matter what the conversation she eventually got around to talking about one of her children or grandchildren and though there are many of you that I haven't met I feel like I know everyone. Your Mother and grandmother loved each of you dearly and wanted all her family to have a personal relationship with her Lord and Savior. 
Ms Frances is now where she has no worries, no pain, no tears, only laughter. I will miss our talks and her words of wisdom and she will remain very alive in my memories and admiration.

Sincerely,
Betty Strickland and Family

I am so sorry for your loss.  My memories of Mrs. Purdy were years back when Renee and I were Junior High School buddies and she had to put up with me coming over a lot.  She was always very nice and made me feel like I was at my second home.  I saw her maybe a year ago at our church visiting with Heather.  Was blessed to have seen her again and she knew who I was and gave me a good hug.  May God surround you with His arms and love and fill your minds with wonderful memories during this time.  Love to all!
