Hi Nancy and Arvaz,
Sorry, I just found out about "Purdie" today, through one of Arvazs' former AT&T coworkers. Lyles and I met in Training Class at Cablevision of Greensboro. He brought us all through because of his sense of humor. He was extra special to me because he gave me good life-advice at a time I needed it. You, he, and I reunited when Arvaz became a student at Grimsley High, where I worked. I think you still had the Princess House Business, Nancy, and you also worked with my sister, Nancy Hines, for the school system. "Purdie" was a good listener as he stopped by the office to say hello. Then Arvaz started working with me here at AT&T. Arvaz, remember when I did my rendition of "Esther"? You laughed so hard. I missed you all when you moved and Lyles will very much be missed. My condolences to you and yours.

Lady Nancy, I will always remember Mr.Purdie's smile, laughter, and friendship to Rod and I. He was always on target at the PH-Gym making sure everyone had what they needed when working out. I thank God for his friendship and trying to teach me how to play the guitar. I pray Gods strength and endurance for you and your family during this time.
