Notes of Thanks
Thank you all my dear sweet loved ones and family at West-Ark Church of Christ for all the wonderful cards, phone calls, and food.  That shows you care about me and you are lifting me up in the loss of my son.  It still feels like I'm walking around in a fog. I just can't hardly believe it. One day he's here and the next day, he's not.
    Allie Lee Whitaker

West-Ark,
Thank you for all of your prayers, thoughts, and those who came to the hospital. We are still family through Christ Jesus. Thank you for making me strong and able to face my surgery and my fears. I was at peace when I knew my family was with me.  God's will shall be done, and as long as we are together, whatever his will is, it will  be good as we strengthen each other.
Thank you all. I love you so much.
    Your sister in Christ,
    Janet Jackson

I would like to thank everyone for the cards, prayers, and kind words during the passing of my father.
    Thank you,
    Rod Jones
