My deepest condolences to the Purvis family. πŸ™πŸΎπŸ’πŸ•ŠοΈ

Every memory I can remember was one of encouragement. As a freshman at All Saints High School navigating life was challenging. Miss Raines, as we referred to her, had just graduated from college. I remember how all the staff and community embraced her as the shining star that made it big. It was an example to call if is how one could teach at the same high school she was an alumni. I will always hold dear the words softly spoken to me in the graduation procession.I carry these words of encouragement with me every day.

My deepest condolences to the Purvis family. I truly love Mrs Purvis, she was a great teacher and she would always give me wisdom and I thank her. God has called another soldier home to glory. God Bless

Sending condolences and prayers of comfort to the Purvis and Bagsby family! Minister Denise James

Mother Purvis truly meant a lot to the Marbley family. Maverrick was honored to serve as Mother Purvis' armor bearer many times when she came to Georgia. Mother Purvis always made sure that I had her homemade gumbo when she came to town. Rest well Mother Purvis. Antwan Marbley
