Purchase -- Perhaps you brought or served food. Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there.

Whatever the part the Lord had you play to console our hearts, we thank you so much, and may He bless each one of you. The family of William C."Bill" Purchase.
