A NOTE OF APPRECIATION
The family wishes to express its profound gratitude to those friends who:
With
cards, letters, telephone calls, flowers, gifts, visits and prayers helped
to elevate Eddilera’s spirits and support her during her final illness,
Searched through
their personal archives and memories to provide us with photographs and materials
to use in this program,
Took time to
express recollections of Eddilera to add to her “Memories Booklet,”
Consented to
collect and forward those cards and notes. *(N.B.) Only those who submitted
cards may tell their collector if they
are interested in receiving a Memories Booklet when it is completed at a later date, and
As church members,
under the guidance of Ms. April Bennett and Rev. Matthies, volunteered to
help facilitate the service and reception.
