Letter to the Editor

Family appreciates support

Friday, April 4, 2008

To the Editor:

A very grateful thanks from the Beard and Gilbert families.

Words seem so little when with all of our hearts we try to say thank you. All of the kind words, cards, gift, food, hugs, kisses, and love that everyone has supplied was so overwhelming. We are so blessed to have such great kids, grandkids, family, friends, church family, and a great community that sticks together and helps out in time of need.

We will miss Dana so very much. As all of you know, your children are your world. I remember the day that Diana asked the Lord to come into her heart. I had the privilege of leading her to Christ. So I know that I will see her and Miley Jo again.

I hope that you too know Christ as your Savior. He is our Blessed Hope, our help in times of sorrow, our comforter. This life is so short. We don't know when our last day here will be. But Diana just started her first week of eternity in her eternal home. I thank God for my mom and dad who taught me the Bible.

I know that she is in Heaven with them, and all our loved ones who arrived there before she did.

Once again, thank you!

Kevin and Lena Beard
