It is with sadness I add this young man, 11 year old Purvis Virginia Parker and his friend, Quadrevion Henning, aged 12.
Although I did not know either young man or their families, I knew of them and prayed for them after hearing they were missing from a park.
Purvis Virginia Parker, 11, and Quadrevion Henning, 12, were last seen on the afternoon of March 19 when they asked Quadrevion's grandfather if they could play basketball at the nearby park.
After the boys' disappearance, police and volunteers searched the neighborhood, posted leaflets around the city and made repeated appeals for information anyone might have.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and America's Most Wanted also posted pictures of the boys on their Web sites.
The boys' families said the two had no history of running away and had good school attendance records, and police fielded hundreds of calls on a tip line offering possible leads.
Saturday, [April 15th], their bodies had been recovered from a lagoon near where they disappeared, [March 19th].
Police Chief Nan Hegerty speculated Purvis, who could not swim, fell in first, and Quadrevion, who was a strong swimmer, tried to save him.
"There was no evidence of any injury or any foul play," said Milwaukee County medical examiner Jeffrey Jentzen.
Jentzen said the children could have lost consciousness immediately in the cold water.
"That makes it kind of nice for the family that they weren't held against their own will", said Dennis Frazier, Quadrevion's uncle.
Purvis Parker's funeral will be April 21 at Holy Redeemer Church of God and Christ at 3500 W. Mothers Daniels Way. Visitation begins at 11 a.m. The funeral is at 1p.m. funeral.
Please take a moment to leave a flower for Quadrevion Henning also. Thank you.
