Rose family appreciates recent support

To the Editor:

The spaghetti dinner to benefit Rodney Rose at Breckenridge Commons in Sullivan on Feb. 22 was truly a success, and will greatly assist Rodney in traveling to Denver, Colo., to see a lung specialist in a couple of weeks.

Our family is very thankful to all of those who came to support Rodney, as well as those who donated items to the silent auction. The Linton businesses and individuals who donated to the benefit included: Charlotte's Unique Boutique, Main Street Gifts, Linton Sporting Goods, Hoosier Hit, Lori Wade-Prim & Posh, Spark, Elaine Wile-Longaberger Consultant, Kristen Goodman-Mary Kay Consultant, Christine Riggleman-Tastefully Simple Consultant, Kellie Riggleman-Homemade Fudge, Anonymous Friend-Vera Bradley Items, and Save-A-Lot Food.

Your generosity is a great example of how God has blessed our family with wonderful friends and how small, local businesses can make a big impact on people in our community!

Thank you all so much again!
