[Oe List ...] David Zollars Memorial Service

[Nancy Lanphear]

Dear David and Ellen,

Thank you for your reflections of David Zollar's celebration.  We did not
know either David or Lois well.  As I wrote to Lois, I spoke of our Spirit
Community of which they are a part.  What a gift!

We hope you are well in spirit.  Following Fred's sharing his conversation
with you, David, we have thought about each of you but Ellen in particular.
Hoping you are finding life to be good in the midst of pain and struggle
with the physical body.  These strange conditions (illnesses) do beckon us
to consider life day by day?

You are loved,

Nancy
