My deepest sympathy Zip (Don Zipperian)

Dear Joyce and family,
We are saddened about the loss of such a noble, talented, kind and gentle man. So many lives have been touched in various ways by Duane just as he left an imprint on Warren's heart and my heart.
Our prayers will continue for the Ellifritt Family. May you be blessed by God during this difficult time.

Mrs. Ellifrit, I am so very sorry to hear of your husbands passing. Please know I will be sending prayers up for you.

With Love,
Ann Ramsden
