To all of you--your Dad and Mom were some of the most favored people I have met in my life. I was so sad to hear that Mr. Purdom had passed away this past week, and sorry we missed all the services. I can see his beautiful smile when I think of him--a smile you probably all see in your children everyday.
Our Deepest Sympathies,
Shawn Kruzan and family

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Chuck Purdom and wish his family our very best. Unfortunately, we wont be able to attend the services but our thoughts and prayers are with you, Chris and Sue, and the rest of the family.
We had such a good time with him at the Parrilli's 50th last year.
