Letters to the Editor

Thank you for

recent support

To the Editor:

"Give thanks to the Lord for he is good."

I would also like to thank everyone for their prayers; kind thoughts, words, and deeds; and cards and flowers during my recent illness. They have all been very much appreciated, and a great comfort at this time.

A special thank you is due to all of my immediate family members.
