Perhaps you sang with the choir, or sent a dish of food . Perhaps you sent a potted plant, or beautiful card to set the mood . Perhaps you ca ed to express your sympathy or said a silent prayer. Perhaps you sat quietly in a chair, if so we saw you there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you were not here at all , just thought of us today. Whatever you did to console our hearts, we thank you so much whatever the part. May God bless each of you .
