Family and Friends 
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.
