NOTES OF THANKS
Mere words seem inadequate
to express our grateful appreciation for the many acts of love, concern, and
sympathy we received throughout our beloved Sheila’s heartbreaking illness and
passing. We thank each and every member of our wonderful church family for the
prayers, flowers, cards, food and visits from which we have drawn so much
comfort. We most sincerely thank all who so eloquently contributed to Sheila’s
beautiful memorial service: Pastors Robert and Wendell, Rev. Quay, John Barr,
Michael Mason and his ushers, Dean Neher, those who provided refreshments, and
everyone who attended the celebration of Sheila’s life. Our Heavenly Father’s
loving grace and Sheila’s gentle spirit were very much in evidence throughout
the service, and continue to surround us each day.
~ Greg,
Charles and Ferne Owen
