We have been challenged in stewardship by their generous and gracious spirit, their support of the church in giving themselves was well as aid, and their witness for Christ in the work-place. They carried the witness of faith beyond the church community into the marketplace. We have been blessed by their expressions of love and grace. Myron A.

Their gracious spirit, their giving of time and energy, and generosity of their resources to countless individuals and charities were most in evidence throughout their lives–and always in the active spirit of justice and peaceful living. Mary and I are so grateful to have been their friends over the years. With thanksgiving and love.
