The Life and Legacy of Dr. Karyn Purvis - S2E8 Apr 21, 2016

Show notes

Chris Turner and Ryan North discuss the life and legacy of Dr. Karyn Purvis. As we record this episode on Friday, April 15th, we do so with sadness and joy. Sadness, because earlier this week, child development and advocacy lost a champion, as Dr. Karyn Purvis lost her battle with cancer. Joy, because Dr. Purvis now rests in the arms of the God she loved and served with her whole heart. We talk about Dr. Purvis’ legacy and share some of our favorite memories.
