Valrie's Loma Linda University Lab Coat Dedication Ceremony

On February 8, 2013 we went to the chapel at Loma Linda University with Valrie's parents and our friend Gene and Kathy White for Valrie's Dedication Ceremony where she was presented with her white lab coat with her name embossed upon it.  We are very proud of her.  Congratulations Valrie!  Here are the pictures from this event.

 The Senior Pastor for the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Azure Hills, Dr. John Brunt, gives a sermon address during the dedication ceremony.  In the left corner is a picture of Jesus Christ helping a dentist and a dental hygienist in their work on their patient.
