To our entire Hope Family:<br />

Words can not express <strong>the</strong> deep love of thanks we'd like to give you. During<br />

our time of need <strong>the</strong> Comfort Givers Ministry gave us comfort. The Missions<br />

Ministry gave <strong>the</strong>ir love, working time and donations. The rest of you supplied<br />

us with <strong>the</strong> best love, through cards, and blessing us with your presence, but<br />

most of all your prayers. We needed <strong>the</strong>m and still do, having four losses in<br />

your family all in one month has been such a challenge in our journey. A special<br />

thanks to Mildred, Barb, Anita, Felecia, Ms. Z., <strong>the</strong> Babbs', <strong>the</strong> Irvins', Sonya,<br />

Sharon, Ken, Greg, Ms. Emmie and Mrs. Parker, thank God for you all.<br />

Pam and Al Fitzpatrick<br />

To Reverend B. Kevin Smalls, <strong>the</strong> Entire Clergy Staff and most importantly, my entire<br />

Hope United Methodist Church Family<br />

I would like to take this opportunity to Thank You for <strong>the</strong> Resolution, <strong>the</strong> many calls and<br />

<strong>the</strong> flooding of cards and well wishes my family in Longview, Texas and here received<br />

following <strong>the</strong> passing of my sister Jo Simon.<br />

Its during times like <strong>the</strong>se when <strong>the</strong> heart is heavy that such love and support means <strong>the</strong><br />

world to <strong>the</strong> ones in need. I thank you for your love from around <strong>the</strong> country that you<br />

shared with me and my family.<br />

Please continue to Pray for my family.<br />

Respectfully,<br />

Dr. Ellen Mayfield<br />
