Purita, fondly called as Mama B, was so loved by those close to her. She was all about family and the reunions were always filled with endless laughter. Oh, we will miss the trips to get bushels of Maryland crabs whenever they’re on season, the trips to Atlantic City Casinos and the unforgettable card games. Mama B was very generous, selfless, kind, and loving. We will never forget her precious smile that reassured us that everything will be alright. Mama B will be greatly missed.
