    Some people make a difference just by being who they are.
    This is true of David and Sandra and the life they had together. They gave of themselves to their community and to the Meals on Wheels program. Their kindness reached others who were in need. For your generosity, we say thank you and God Bless you. May Davidā€™s celebration of life service bring you peace and renewed memories of the strength, love, and good that was David. Our prayers will be with you all.
