A Beautiful Candle Snuffed Out By A Drunken Driver
Dr. Gary F. Purdue
This story reminds me of the childhood song: "This Little Light of Mine"
and according to all that I read about Dr. Purdue, he certainly was a very bright shining light.
This is a story every person should read; a man that has along with his wife helped the Gladney Center for Adoption over the years by caring for 39 infants awaiting adoption (Including a set of triplets); saved countless lives at the Burn Center and been a true blessing to so many; unfortunately his life has been snuffed out and a multitude of people will suffer for the needs of such a doctor as he.
There truly are not many doctors that seem to have the capacity that I have read that this Doctor had, a seeming true zeal for life, for helping others, and an inspiration for so many. It is truly sad that his life has been taken, I guess we will never know what his last minutes were,
but I hope that those reading this will consider the true consequences of what happens when one is reckless with alcohol or other substances. Lives that should be saved get lost and the loved ones are left behind to
pick up the pieces of what is left of their life without them; and that, is no small task when everywhere you look is a reminder of "what could have been".
Please pray for this Doctor's wife and the ones that he has left behind; and pray for the one that created the cause/action; somehow I hope he will be forgiven, and to those left behind to mourn him, ultimately that
sometimes proves to be the hardest trial of all.
