To family, friends, church family, volunteers, area businesses and community:
How do we even begin to thank all of you for your sacrifice of time, energy and gifts? It warms our hearts and humbles us deeply to have received this kind of outpouring from a community that just suffered so much from the recent tornados in the area. We have definitely experienced the love and support of the people who live here.
We appreciate all the businesses and individuals that donated items for the live and silent auctions. Also, a thank you to those of you who spent time baking goodies for the bake sale.
A special thank you to Brian and Linda Knudsen for organizing this wonderful benefit. You did an amazing job and we will be forever grateful.
My family and I are so fortunate to live in a community of such caring and generous people. You helped us reach beyond our goal.
This has been a trying time for our family and we want you to know that your hugs, prayers and words of encouragement have helped to ease our pain. We are so blessed to have all of you and a loving God to carry us through.
