AN APPRECIATION
We have always appreciated our friends but they have meant more to us during the past week than ever before as they shared in our grief and rendered so many kindly acts that helped to alleviate our sorrow over the death of a beloved wife and mother. Without mentioning names, we want or relatives, neighbors, friends and those who minister to the sorrowing on such occasions to know how much their contributions have meant to us. Words are inadequate at such moments to express one's appreciation and they fall far short of what is in our hearts.
