We had the privilege of knowing Sara and Francis as members of the Doraville Presbyterian Church and through activities at Bonclarken. My father was one of Francis' golfing buddies. They were a wonderful couple and Francis was a totally committed and loving care giver to Sara. We always looked forward to receiving a Christmas card from Francis after we both left the area. The world is a better place because of his life. He was a true follower of Christ and we know that he and Sara are enjoying the rewards of heaven. He will be missed.
