Thank You I want to thank everyone for the prayers, cards, text messages, Facebook messages, gifts, phone calls and food brought to the house during my stay in Rochester, MN and returning home from a three-month stay after my heart and liver transplant. Thank you to my family and Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family for all their support. To Fr. Dan Greving for having a Mass on June 19 (day of surgery). Words canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough, how much I appreciate the prayers and thoughts from all of you during surgery and hospitalized. To everyone who came and supported my beneďŹ t on October 22. To all who donated auction items, bake sale items and food. Special thanks to all who helped with the event in any way; especially to the buyers. Special thanks to the auctioneers and the JK country band for donating their time and talent. Again, thank you all for everything. May God bless you!
Celebrate the
MIRACLE!
As we celebrate this special season, our hearts are warmed by memories of the many good folks weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the privilege to serve. Thanks!
