My most sincere condolences to David White. I got to know and love Liz from our days planning Converse Club events and followed her success through UPS and thereafter.She and John were a great couple and much loved. I have kept them in my prayers for such a long time and I was thankful today to be able to "send them off" with love and happy stories and bells ringing. The service and tributes were beautiful and we all shared in your grief.
My sincerest sympathies
Elisabeth Marchant and David Jensen
