CARD OF THANKS

Our family would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the love and support we have been given in the past weeks by family and friends. We would especially like to thank Dr. Jordan and the nurses on the 2nd floor for their care of Aaron. Also to Father Barry Brinkman for the hospital visits and mass.

CARD OF THANKS
We cannot possibly convey the gratitude we have for everything that was done for Bill and our family the past few weeks and since his passing. Each of you will be remembered and your kindness cherished by our family.
A special thank-you to Dr. Nelson, the staff at Clay County Medical Center and Meadowlark Hospice. They are all such wonderful people and they made every effort to see to Bill and our comfort and care.
We also appreciated all of the visits and support from our Pastor Franklyn Schroeder and the great lunch served by the ladies and friends of the Faith United Church.
Thank-you and God Bless each of you.
The Family of
Bill Branfort
