Thank You

Thank You

I would like to sincerely thank all of the people who made my benefit successful. To my wife, sisters and brother and their families, friends, the business community, churches, community

organizations, students, school employees,

people who donated items and everyone who participated in the benefit, those of you who have been praying for me and all of you who have sent well-wishes, THANK YOU. I also want to thank those who have helped with yard work or assisted in any way. Words can never express my sincere gratitude.

After being diagnosed with cancer, undergoing treatments and surgery, there were some

challenging times. I had fantastic doctors, nurses and medical personnel. The support of family, friends and people involved in prayer chains and others who encouraged me have made my recovery possible. When times were the most difficult, you lifted me up and

sustained me. I could not have made this

journey without you. Your help will not be

forgotten. My pastors, the faith community, my family and friends, continually gave me strength. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Again, I want to express my SINCERE

GRATITUDE and THANKS. I hope someday I can help others the way so many people aided me.

God Bless all of you.
