Hi Emma
I am so sad to hear of Gordy's passing. I will never forget what a great person he was and what a pleasure to have had him as my hockey coach. I also won't forget how Gordy and You treated me like part of your family. You both are Special People. Thank You for Treating me with so much kindness! Gordy is Loved by so many People. My Dad thought the world of both of you! My memories of Gordy will live forever. God Bless Gordy and all of the Christian Family. Take Care of Yourself Emma!
Love You Always
SINCERELY DICK PURPUR

Emma, Mom and I want to express our deepest sympathy on the passing of Ginny. When my parents moved to Warroad and opened Pages Cafe, they became good friends with Ginny and the whole Christian family. My dad, George, was involved with the Lakers and knew him well. Emma, you were always helpful to me at the bank when I needed something taken care of there after she moved away. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Diane Page Hreno.

Emma,
Don't know if you even remember me....TOPS at my house years ago? So sorry to read of Gordy's passing. Treasure all those wonderful memories of Gordy and he'll live forever in your heart. "This world is not conclusion; a sequel stands beyond". Emily Dickinson. Much love to you and your family.

Emma, Gordy & Steve,
My Heart Breaks for you and the loss of Ginny. Everytime I saw him or even thought about him it made me Smile. Ginny was such a character, loving & funny. Oh the stories he'd tell and the memories he made with people (all the Rivard Family) will live on in everyone that knew him. He was such a great carpenter. I showed him something I wanted at a cabin at the Angle. Next thing I know he made me the samething but better. I never asked him to do that he just did. That's the kind of person he was. I wish I could be there to give Emma a Big Hug. Take care and God Bless,
Love Rita Miller ♡

We in the Purpur family will always remember Gordy-not only as a great
hockey player but for the classy,humble way he handled himself.He would stop in
to say hi to our dad now and then.He had alot of friends and didn't forget any of
them. We want to express our deepest sympathy to Emma and the Christian
family.
Sincerely
Cliff Purpur
