• Even though I do not know Braden, I read his obituary because of the names, George Purchase and Mary Purchase. If I am right, I taught George in grade one and remember Mary at the Shop Easy store in Transcona. George, respectful, quiet and bright 6 year old, and his mother, such a beautiful, lovely lady. After reading the online condolences and learning that George became a teacher, and a great teacher by the sounds of it, I feel so proud of you. I have a grandson that is the same age as Braden and cannot imagine your pain in losing him.So I extend to you warm hugs. If I have the wrong family, may I extend to you as well warm hugs in the loss of your son. In order to look forward ,you must look back. - Posted by: Marsha Notley (Potter) () on: Sep 25, 2015

• I can't say I had the pleasure of knowing Braden, but I always felt like I did through George's proud stories about his son. It seems like he lived more experiences in his 20 years than most do in 50. The Purchase family have often been in my prayers this past little while, and I do hope George knows especially that his students are hurting for him and his family.
