Dear Nancy and family:
I have lived in the Houston area 39 yrs and my husband Johnny saw your mom's obituary and brought it to my attention. He knew who Miss Purdy was from the many stories I shared about your wonderful family. Your mom was a wonderful gracious lady who my mother greatly admired. I will always remember our years of close friendship in Navy Park. I am sorry for your loss but know she is celebrating in heaven with your dad. Blessings and best wishes to you

Just a note to tell Flo's family how much I liked her. I'm a Houston Realtor, and we worked on a deal together many years ago.... we sailed thru the problems & issues that every transaction has, and we stayed friendly thru-out... and I never forgot her. She was so sweet, and I once visited her at her condo for tea/coffee. What a delight she was... cheerful and bubbly; a lovely lady.

Dearest Purdy family;
I wish to extend to you my condolences for the passing of your mother. I don't know if you will remember me or not. We were the Clause family who lived across the street from you on Dewey St. My sister Virginia and I are the only ones left in our family. I am Frances Clause Harriman. Nancy and I are the same age. I read your mother's obituary in the Orange Leader. I just loved Ms. Purdy. She was such a beautiful lady.
Many times growing up I would go to your house to see Nancy, and if she wasn't home, Ms. Purdy, no matter what she was doing, would stop and sit down and talk with me. She would treat me with kindness and respect, not just a pesky preteen or teenager. She, I am sure, left a positive imprint on the hearts of everyone she came in contact with. I am sure she will be greatly missed by all who knew her, especially her family.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
Sincerely,
Frances Clause Harriman##imported-begin##Frances Clause Harriman##imported-end##

Hello Jimmy : Just wanted you know my thoughts are with you & your family . If I had known your Mother was in the Houston area, I would have gone there and at least had ' coffee ' with her. I remember she was such a fine, distinguished Lady . You were very fortunate to have her with you all these years. Maybe, I will get to see you at our reunion May 1 & 2 50th ~ time flies by . Take care good friend !##imported-begin##Chuck Peterson##imported-end##
