~ ANNOUNCEMENTS ~

A heartfelt and blessed thank you to our Christian friends here at

St. Peter. Your prayer, words of encouragement, and expressions 

of love were much appreciated as Jan struggled with a failing 

heart. Thank you for the cards, memorials, and flowers in her 

name. Thank you to all involved in her funeral. Especially Pastor 

Short, Sisters in Faith, the properties board, and to all those that 

provided salads and desserts. They were wonderful. A blessed 

thank you to all involved.
