Today was another great Memorial Day service at Purley Cemetery. We lit 8 candles in memory of the ones who have died since last year. Our crowd was great and it was good to see so many dear friends We also paid tribute to the veterans who are buried in our cemetery. We had some great music by John Fitch and the cemetery looked great as always thanks to Casey Joyner & family. If you weren’t able to attend this year we missed you and you can still donate to help with the upkeep cost of the cemetery.
