Dear all of our friends,

It is so hard to find the right words to say how much all of your wonderful gifts of encouragement that have come to Boe and I have meant to us. Whether it was a phone call, a visit, help with our little store, or here at home, gifts of food, flowers and money. These past two years you all have truly overwhelmed us with your love and kindnesses.

We don't know who all of you are or what some of you have done anonymously, but each of you has made all the difference in how we have been able to face everyday. Your love and friendship is the best this world has to give and we count ourselves rich because of it. Our great wish for all of you is that all the good things you do for others comes back to you in great and wonderful ways. We hope we can be a part of that somehow.

With much love,

Boe and Edna
