​​Thank you Note
My heartfelt thank you seems so inadequate to express my feelings of gratitude to my church family for the many acts of kindness shown me during my recent hospitalization and convalescence.
The visits, food, flowers, telephone calls, transportation and the list goes on. I have been overwhelmed by all your kindness. Now, it’s so great to be back in church & I know I have been truly blessed.
