The flowers at the front of the Winter Chapel were donated by the family of Beulah Beaver, whose funeral service was held on Wednesday.

We are saddened by the news of Don Gebhardt’s sudden death on Monday at Millard Fillmore Gates, where he had been hospitalized. Condolences go out to his children, Carol Grantinetti of Buffalo and Earl Gebhardt of Virginia. The family is not planning to hold a memorial service at this time.
