Jenie Purves - Texaco

Post by Spanky »

Jenie - smooth tailwinds and High Flights.

All of our love!!

AC

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

There are not enough kind words that I can use to describe Jenny. I took this news extremly hard because we worked so much together last year. This Camp, this city, state, country and world are going to miss you greatly.

To all the Staff that worked at AC last year, I love you guys

You guys mean the world to me and no matter where you are in the world know that I consider you a part of my family. May the Lord bless you and Keep you.

Tex- You will very missed. I will never forget all the lights out and wake ups, and crazy teams we shared past summer. No matter what happened you always had a smile on your face, and I am very thankful for that.

I shared a few teams with Tex this summer and you could never ask for a better team leader. (no offense to anyone else I shared a team with) She always was making games and just making AC as much fun as possible for the kids. She was always willing to listen when things got tough and a great friend to everyone. I will miss her a lot.

Take care guys

Words can't describe how we all feel, and how Jenie touched all our lives. Her big smile, enthusiastic drive and care for her teams and her friendship will be a void within us that can never again be filled.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be softly at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you ,
In the hollow, of his hand.
( Celtic Blessing )

Godspeed Texaco
