CARD OF THANKS
Words are inadequate to express our sincere thanks for the floral offerings and the kind deeds shown us in our time of sorrow. May God bless each of you is our earnest prayer.
"Lord make me a channel of they peace, that where there is hatred I may bring love; That where there is wrong I may bring the spirit of forgiveness. that where there is discord I may bring harmony; That where there is error I may bring truth. That where there is doubt I may bring faith; That where there is despair I may bring hope; And where there are shadows I may bring Thy light; That where there is sadness I may bring joy.
Lord grant that I may seek rather to comfort than be comforted, to understand than be understood, to love than be loved. For it is by giving that one receives. It is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.
