Children of Connie Purcell, I have often wondered what happened to my friend of high school days at Bismarck High rather than State Line. I hope you get this message even though it is over a year late.

Thank you Nanny for your unending support of me and my family. You were kind, loving, supportive, caring, stubborn (oh - so stubborn), independent and strong. I would like to think I possess many of these qualities because of you. Grateful we could share your last breaths with you...enjoy your journey. Kiss Poppy for me. Until we meet again.
