Thank You
Dear Friends,
Thank you for your many prayers during the
recent illnesses of my two brothers, Jim and Jack
Jardel. Over Easter, God called them both home
with Him. Your thoughtful calls, cards, prayers
and condolences on their behalf have been a great
help to me during this sad time.
God bless you all,
Joan McManus
