Letter to the Editor

Family appreciates support from many

Wednesday, June 4, 2008

To the Editor:

On behalf of my family, I want to thank all of those who sent flowers or helped in any way during the passing of my father, Charles W. Kirk.

I especially thank Jessie, Terry, and Becky at Newkirk's funeral home for their kindness and help in arranging the funeral. I thank Scott Chambers and the First Christian Church of Dugger. I thank Rick Walters for his reflections on my father's life as he knew him and Brenda Smith for her special music.

I want to thank all of the staff at Glenburn Home for their special caring during my father's stay. The nursing staff, unit manager, director and all I came in contact with were especially kind and tolerant of me when I could not accept the fact the my dad was dying.

Linton should take pride in having a place like Glenburn for those who need it. My dad said it was home to him and they were his family.
