CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our
‘thanks to all of you who sup-
ported and comforted us dur-
ing the illness and loss of our
loved one. Your prayers, hugs,
tears and smiles provided a
blanket of comfort over our
grief. So many of you sent flow-
ers, cards and food, answered
telephones, greeted visitors at
our home, provided child care,
even gave gifts of memorials in
memory of William. Your kind-
ness will never be forgotten as
we struggle to go on with our
lives. The kindness and gen-
erosity of so many people re-
mind us of the best of life's
blessing. Knowing William's life
was so full and had such an im-
pact on people helped ease the
pain of dealing with his death.
We miss him but your love and
prayers have comforted us in
our SOITOW.
