Dear Emmanuel family,
What a wonderful blessing you have been to me during these last months.
Your prayers have sustained us and we have felt your support. Thanks for
your prayers, calls, cards, and to those who made the trip to attend the
visitation and funeral. You have truly been church to us. Thanks.
