Art and Hazel White were friends of my parents John and Lois Rebel. I remember how they, along with Doc and Midori Odo would go to the Opera and out to the Savoy Grill for dinners. There were many get togethers at the Odo's home on Weatherby Lake with the Whites, Odo's and Rebels. Our thoughts and prayers and fond memories of both Art and Hazel go out to the White family.

For Mary and All her Family
In Loving Memory...
To have loved, then lost,
is still better than to have never been so blessed.
To have been enriched by one's cheerfulness,
Their memory lingers on.
Their hopes and ideals in the crevices of your mind,
their wisdom is there when you need it.
Whatever was good and noble within your loved one,
they still live through you.]May their life have had purpose and meaning
by keeping their good seed alive.

Only then can we truly say,
"in Loving Memory."

~~~
God be with you and yours through this difficult time.

With love,
Anne, Mark, Roque, Maura
