THANK YOU: I want to thank my kids & everyone who helped in celebrating my 85th birthday. I want to thank everybody for the beautiful cards, gifts, flowers & prayers. I really enjoyed the day. Thank you. Donna Koch THANK YOU: From the Family of Roger Feddersen: Roger was sick for over three years, with an incurable, aggressive cancer. In that time, our family received more love & support than one could ever hope for in a lifetime. This outpouring continued through the end, & we cherish each & every one of you for your incredible contributions. We have been so blessed in this difficult time, & cannot imagine having gone through this journey without you; thank you seems inadequate. From our family to yours, we offer our most sincere appreciation for your prayers, time, kind words, physical labor, gifts, calls, e-mails & letters. Your presence, in whatever form it was offered, will always be remembered. Blessings, Nancy Feddersen (Roger) Garrett, Kelsey & Briar Feddersen Alison & Fred Good THANK YOU: We would like to thank everyone who supported our annual fundraiser—chances on a Mother’s Day Basket. All items in the basket were donated by our members. It was another success and the winner of the Basket is Travis Pratt of Holstein. The money raised buys Christmas gifts for Good Samaritan Society residents. This past year, we also sponsored a High Tea for the residents. Your generosity in supporting us is much appreciated. Holstein Good Samaritan Auxiliary WANT TO BUY: Used, pop-up camper. Prefer to be in good shape. Call 712-3643894. 19-1t/cra*
