Thank You, everyone, for attending my mothers funeral and paying your respects to a wonderful lady. Yes, by and large sadly funerals are the only time I get to see family and my mother’s friends I didn’t get a chance to spend as much time as I would have liked with everyone. However, the knowledge and I know the heartfelt Love my mother had for you individually I hope was evident by her life and her care for each one of you. I hope that each person takes the time to understand and know there is a decision you have to accept Jesus Christ or not as your Savior Mom did and I know I will see her again and I know right now by that decision she is more alive than ever before. She would want the same for you. Sincerely her Adopted Son Donald Wayne Purciful.
