Because you cared, you came to share beautiful flowers and words of prayer. Because you cared enough to do, words of comfort on cards came too. Because you cared, we were not alone; calls and visits reached our homes. Because you cared, we’re grateful indeed, you’ve been a comfort and friend in need. Because you cared, we’re able to bear the grief and sorrow; there is no despair.
We love you and pray God’s continued blessings upon each of you.
