We, Pastor Mike and Pastor Mark, wish to extend our heart-felt "thank you" to our beloved church for all of your prayers and cards. We wish to thank the staff for the flowers, the church board for the angels and our congregation for the beautiful wind chimes; they will help us carry on the memory of our beloved mother/grandmother for years to come. We know the pain of this loss will linger, and while your loving arms have lifted our spirits, it is the sure hope of the eternal life won for us by Jesus Christ that gives us strength for the day. May this hope be yours too in your own time of need. Thank you all for reminding us of this joy by your acts of love shown to us this week.
We also wish to thank Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Arenzeville, IL for their wonderful service. To Pastor Dierks, we say thank you for your leading of worship and your care for Bernita in her final days. To the LWML who put on the meal, thank you for taking care of our physical needs. Many hands made light the work for the day and we appreciate all who went unnoticed in our eyes, we are thankful that God sees your service even when we do not.
May God bless each of you,
Pastor Mark & Pastor Mike
