I want to thank my family and all my church friends for their many prayers while I was in the hospital and since my return home; also for the cards and well wishes. Thank you to Pastor Kathy & Dennis and Richard & Linda for their visits. Thank you to those who brought in food. It is all deeply appreciated.
God is good—all the time.
Love to all, Doris Ritland
