**Notes of Thanks**
Dear West-Ark Family,
Our family has been deeply moved by the condolences you
have offered in person and by the cards we have received. Your prayers
have sustained us. Please continue to pray for my
mother.
Thank you for the gift to West-Ark's library in memory of
Dad (Bosco Eudaly). He was a student of the Word. He would have been
honored and humbled by the gift. We certainly are.
Thankful to be family in Christ,
Mike, Mary, Kate and Nash Burkett
Dear West-Ark Family,
Thank you so much for the many prayers, cards, and acts of
kindness Lila and I received during my illness.
In Christian love,
Wendal and Lila Hull
We thank all our family at West-Ark for their cards and
prayers during the loss of my mother.
Bill Coffelt Family
Dear Brethren at West-Ark,
Thank you for your words of encouragement and prayers for
my well being during my illness. I am home and doing better, but it is a
struggle.
Out of all this, Rita and I were reminded of our friends
and loved ones far and wide. You are certainly some of those.
May God bless and keep you,
Jack & Rita Harriman
