To Our SHCN Family,

Thank you for the bereavement booklets that you have sent us.

They really do help us on the days when we are emotionally

ready to read, think, and discuss our loss. Also a sincere thank

you for all of your thoughts, prayers and cards for my dad and

our pap. We do miss and love him so, so much. Can we ask that

you continue to keep us in thoughts and prayers to heal our

grieving hearts. Thank you!

With love,

Kim, Josh, Jessica and the Gatti family

Dear Church Family,

We are overwhelmed by your love and support as we walk this part of our journey. We want to thank you for the cards, gifts, meals, gift cards, babysitting, chauffeuring the kids, and most of all, for your hugs, smiles, and prayers. Thank you for wrap-ping your arms around our family. Thank you for comforting us, for encouraging us, and for lifting us on days we are so in need of a lift. God is revealing himself to us each and every day. Often, through your kindness. I have finished 2 of 6 chemo rounds and my cancer numbers are dropping! Please keep praying. There is power in the name of Jesus!

With Love and Gratitude,

Deb, Chris, Kayla, and Nick Dell

Dear Church Family,

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your prayers,

care, concern, and support during the last few months. They have been a great source of comfort to us; and we

want to give a special thank you to the Bethel Bible Sun-

day school class and the Wednesday Night Prayer group.

With Love,

Rich, Marlene, and the Lampenfield family
