Mrs.Purvis was truly a friend of our family.We would visit her whenever we had a chance. She loved her church St. Andrews. She will be greatly missed. Not many people reach their 99th birthday. We will forever remember her and we extend our condolences to the family. May God continue to bless each of you during this difficult time. She is in God's hands now.

Maurice,
Ms. was my neighbor on Liberia St. I use to go and visit with her from time to time. My daughters thought alot of her as well. I loved the fact that she was an outstanding woman. And also a celebrity. Not known by many . May God keep you strong in his words and faith. You are in my prayers.

Dear Maurice,
Ruby will always have a place in my heart, we shared many wonderful nights filled with laughter at The Oaks. She was an inspiring woman and I enjoyed sitting around listening to her endless stories about when she was younger. She's been tired for years now and she's finally at home where she can rest. I will keep you in my prayers, take care.


Love always,
Caroline Conrad (CNA)
