ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The family expresses its sincere thanks for your concern during our hours of bereavement. Nothing is more painful or more stressful than the loss of a loved one and yet, nothing is more comforting than the love of a friend, or more consoling than the warmth of a handshake, a caring hug or a gentle smile during such measure of grief, ours is a great loss, but you shared it with us through the flowers you sent, the prayers that you prayed, through cards and phone calls. What ever you did to share our loss with us has helped us more than words can say.
The Family
