St. Paul Church Family: Some people

give because they think they have to—

for them it’s jus the proper thing to do.

But when YOU give I always know it

comes right from the heart—I’m thankful

for your prayers, thoughtfulness, the

flower, but most of all for CARING.

Pat Wilkes & the Jones Family

“Thank you” doesn’t say it all but at least

it starts to let you know how very much

your kindness touched our hearts. As the

song says, we don’t have enough

tongues to express how thankful we are

for you support and embracement you

all extended to us. God Bless you all.

The Sanders & Nance Family

Thank you for your kindness and pray-

ers. Our family thanks Jesus for such a

caring family during our time of loss.
