Page -- Perhaps you brought or served food. Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words as any friends could say; perhaps you were not there at all, just thought or prayed for us that day. If you gave to a charity we want to thank you too, for many will be blessed by the giving done by you. Whatever part the Lord has you play to console our hearts, we thank, you so much and may He bless each one of you. Mr. Page was peacefully interred at Santa Fe National Cemetery on August 28, 2000. The family of David R. Page. French Mortuary, 7121 Wyoming Blvd. NE.
