Mere words cannot convey our thoughts and appreciation for all the hugs, expressions of love, thoughts and prayers that we’ve received not only in the last few days, but also in the last few years of mom’s decline. She loved this church and the wonderful friendships that lasted down through the years. Thanks also to the food committee for the bountiful, delicious food. We love you all, The Mable North family
