Family and Friends
Words of thanks seem inadequate for all of
the acts of kindness that have been bestowed
upon our family during this time of grief. We
sincerely thank you all for your heartfelt prayers,
encouragingvisits, comforting calls, lovely cards
and flowers, and sincere words of solace. We are
finding strength in knowing that earth has no
sorrow that heaven cannot heal and that weeping
may endure for a night, but joy shall come in the
morning. May God bless you richly for blessing
our family with your presence.
