Maggie White of Oakland and her younger brother decided they wanted to do something for all the couples who are getting married, so they went to the store and bought three dozen white roses. They hand-wrapped them and came down to San Francisco City Hall. We found Maggie (with her father, John, above) handing the flowers out to newlywed couples as they came down the main stairway. They don't know anybody who is getting married today -- but they wanted to be a part of it. (Jon Barrett, The Advocate)

This is one of the most touching things I've ever read--even made me teary. Thank you, Maggie, and thank you, John, for raising your children to be such wonderful and thoughtful people.

It's beautiful people like Maggie and her father John who make the world a better place for each and every one of us.
