The Spirit Of Christmas Cheer Fund “God bless the Cheer Fund,” one donor wrote in a note that came along with their donation. “You bring happiness to so many needy people.”

Letter writer is happy to give

Since 1927 we have received thousands of letters similar to the ones above, which continue to reinforce the importance and true meaning of the Christmas Cheer Fund.

Letters from children, adults and letters received anonymously, all asking for a little support during the holiday season.

The 2012 Cheer Fund goal is $120,000. “ These people are not asking for elaborate gifts. They just want a little extra money to help buy food and other necessities,” said Globe-Gazette Publisher Howard Query. “This Fund is one way people can spread holiday joy.”

In 1927 Lee Loomis, publisher of the Globe-Gazette founded the Christmas Cheer Fund, and each year thereafter it has continued to help brighten the holidays for many North Iowa residents due to your generosity. In the past 85 years you have given $2,392,900.86 to help North Iowans in need of a little cheer for the holidays.

Every donation counts. Regardless of the size of your gift, anything will be greatly appreciated.

Cheer Fund donations or referrals may be made to: Christmas Cheer Fund, Globe-Gazette, P.O. Box 271, Mason City, IA 50402-0271.

Donations may also be taken to the Globe-Gazette office, 300 North Washington Ave., Mason City, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday. Cheer Fund requests may also be made at the Globe-Gazette office.

MEMORIAL

“Living like there’s no tomorrow means loving all you can today.”

Edna Hauser-Kohls June 29, 1924 — Nov. 4, 2012 IN MEMORY When I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years But start out bravely with a gallant smile; And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same; Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways.

Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky!

The family of Edna Hauser-Kohls would like to thank family and friends in surrounding communities for the kind expressions of sympathy towards us through cards, memorials, plants, food, hugs and prayers. We would also like to thank our Greene ambulance squad for her immediate care. We were blessed to have the funeral at St. John’s United Church of Christ, Nashua, Iowa. Special thanks to the Women’s Fellowship for the delicious luncheon. Our sincere appreciation goes out to Hugeback Johnson in Nashua, Iowa. All who knew mom will greatly miss her.

Warm regards, — Art Kohls and Edna’s family
