Glen Rex and Mary Donna Fosyth Purnell

My Grandpa, Glen Rex Purnell has always been a big part of my life.  For most of my life we lived very close to my Grandma and Grandpa Purnell.  They lived in Cardston, Alberta most of the time that I was growing up.  We lived on a ranch just on the US side of the boarder.  We went to school and church in Canada.  The Carway boarder closed at 6pm and didn't open until 9am in the winter time.  If we had any activities before or after school we would stay at Grandpa and Grandma's.
Just over a year and a half ago I moved back up to Cardston to be close to family.  It has been wonderful to be able to spend so much  time with my Grandparents.  I have been able to contiue to strengthen the relationship I have with them.  They are such amazing people.
I wanted to do this post about them today because my Grandpa is in the hospital and is not doing very well. My Grandma has dementia and needs more looking after herself.  I'm very glad that I made the decision to move up here and that I get to spend this time with them and be here for them.  It means a lot to me and I think it means a lot to them.
I have been trying to put together a history on Glen and Donna and I even started a blog about them. I've been posting pictures that I got off their computer on facebook so that others could enjoy them and hopeful share comments, stories and memories with me that I can add to their history.
