[Sundaycommunity] Liz's passing

[Martha Crean]

Oh Mary ,   And Art

Thank  you very much for helping to arrange for this to be taped for people
to hear later.
That will help me and I believe that Dr. Bill is away as well and might
want to hear it and others probably too.
Liz would be so pleased at all of the good organizing! Martha
