We were so sorry to hear of your loss. You and your sweet family will be in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time. I lost my father a few years ago, and it is not easy. But, I thank God for His comfort and grace.
Our love to you all,

Dr. Purdy,
I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you that we are praying for you and your family. I understand what you are going through as some of you know I lost my mother a few weeks back. I dont know if you remember my mother, she was Frances Gordy who worked for Rush many years. But you know one thing I hold on to is that one day we will see them again. God assured us of that in His words. God bless and know we will remember you all in our prayers.
