Peace be with you. Ara gave us a wonderful photo album of our marriage at Christ Church. He was a fixture at church, and he will be missed.

TO ALL OF ARA'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS--
HE AND I WERE PART OF A GROUP WHO MET EVERY SUNDAY MORNING AT CHRIST CHURCH TO TALK FOR 25 YEARS, THEN WORSHIPED TOGETHER. TODAY HIS SERVICE WAS A TRIBUTE TO THE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT DEVELOPED OVER THOSE YEARS,UNITING US IN A COMMON HUMANITY.
I WILL MISS HIM VERY MUCH, BUT AM DEEPLY HONORED TO HAVE BEEN PART OF HIS LIFE.
MAY THE BEST OF WHO HE WAS AND STILL IS BE WITH YOU ALL.
