My prayers and thoughts are with you. Rowena was a very special person. I came across a jar she used for paperclips a few days after her last day and kept it on my desk.

Harold, words can't express how saddened we are to hear of your loss in the passing of Rowena. She was a lovely and gentle lady, and Virgil and I count it a privilege to have known her...both at ABAC and at Tifton's Assembly of God as fellow worshippers.
Our sincere sympathies to you and your family. We pray the love of God enfolds you during this difficult time. Virgil and Hazel Purvis

Harold I have just learned of Rowena's passing, I am so sorry. I have such fond memories of both of you. Have miss you both since your leaving Tifton. It seems like yesterday when you came to Tifton and then went back to marry Rowena and brought her to Tifton. You were both part of our family for so long and I never worried about mama as long as you were there. Thank you so much for that. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
