My sincere sympathy to you and your family.  I know what it feels like to lose the love of your life.  They will always be with you in your heart forever.

Happy Birthday!!! Older...Older....and Older....Shame we can't get younger...Make it a good one. I always remember. You can never say I have alzheimers.....ha ha.

Missed you guys at the reunion. Sorry I did not make the last one. We are all getting so much older....its hard to make everything all the time.

It was really nice to see you at the reunion again. I noticed they only took photos with the silly dress up things and I did not do that, so nobody knows I was there. Kind of mysterious don't you think???????????ha ha. Happy Birthay.

I design and make hand made bead embroidery bracelets. I have a few listed in my ebay store but I also have several not listed that I would like to sell. They are all one of a kind designs and consist of leathers, pearls, rhinestones, glass beads, gemstones, etc. There is alot of work that goes into designing planning, gauging, materials and construction to a finished bracelet. So the prices are rather high. If anyone is interested in seeing what I have you can contact me by email or phone dpurcell1@triad.rr.com or phone 336-473-1538 (cell). You can also find me on eBay as https://www.ebay.com/usr/dopurcell2012 or just key in donna purcell on ebay.. You can see a few of my designs in my ebay store. I have also included photos below of my latest designs.

UPDATE: Still working. You can find me on the net as dopurcell2012 on eBay. I also design bead embroidery bracelets. If anyone wants a look you can find some on ebay and I have others that are not listed. I design them, and do all the scaling and work associated with them. Various colors and designs, all are one of a kind items.

My grandson is now 16 has his drivers license and plays football. Transferred to Reagan this year so he could play football for a larger school, trying to get a scholarship. My sons are both still close by. The youngest Ryan just remarried. Not much goes on with me but work. I would like to take a nice vacation and find a group of people who would like to socialize. It's lonely working from home. My cat does not contribute much to the conversation. I look the same, just a few more wrinkles.

Happy Birthday David. Still wondering about Gary. How is he doing. Living in the same place? I don't get much time to visit friends....still work.

Happy Birthday. It's is not fun seeing wrinkles in the mirror. Make it a good one.

Happy Birthday. My family was talking about you not long ago. We were remembering the saw mill that used to be next to you on Vance Road. Did your dad own that? I remember going to it when daddy needed lumber and watching them saw the boards.

My grandson is turning 16 in December. Trying to get this permit to drive. I remember those days with my own kids. My sons are both well and living close by. We lost a major family member last July we are still feeling the loss and lots of good memories. Getting old is lonely and boring. Working keeps me going because I enjoy what I do. Still can find me on the web as https://www.ebay.com/str/dopurcell2012. Or just key in Donna Purcell, I'm all over the next.

I never knew John Blue, but we are at the age that things just happen.  My family lost 2 family members this summer one very suddenly.  Hug them and keep them close, you never know.
