My sympathy to the extended Purpura family on their loss. I am very sorry that I cannot attend the funeral in person, but I will keep cousin Phyllis in my prayers.

Phyllis was a beloved Aunt who had a great style about her, a warm and infectious laugh and a beautiful heart. All who knew her loved her!!! The whole Purpura family will miss her. May God's everlasting joy surround you now in Heaven.
