Dear Dave, I’d like to add my condolences. Marian was a gentle woman and the two of you had a marriage of long-lasting love and respect. Praying for you from Indiana.
Hi David,
Many prayers and much love during this time of grief for you and your family. You and Marian stand out as important supports for me and so many others during your time as DS. You were such a team—the essence of hospitality and kindness. May God’s presence be a strength and comfort through this difficult time.
