To All My Friends,
Thank you all for the caring, cards, and prayers directed our way as we were dealing with illness recently. It was wonderful to know so many were thinking of us. I am still in treatment for cancer, while Fred is back to normal after his dizziness was being diagnosed as an inner ear problem.
Our church family is a blessing to us.
Billie and Fred Way
To Whom it may concern
Deborah and Tyrone Walker would like to thank June and Jim Loving, Jerry and Martha Dodson, Dick and Melissa Kintigh and Fred Way and all other members of First United Methodist Church, on behalf of Pastor James and Elaine Gray of New West End Baptist Church.
We thank you for the donation of items given to the hurricane victims in our community. This is what God wants everyone to do - working together in love to help others.
God Bless you
Sister Deborah Walker
