Celebration of Life
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A
time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that
which is planted. ~ Ecclesiastes 3:J-2

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 made a benevolent contribu-
tion, if so we appreciate you. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words any friend
could say, perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day; what-
ever you did to console our hearts we thank you so much ... Whatever your
part. Again, we thank you.
