from Mike... go to everybody who helped make the Memorial

the wonderful welcome, the great hymn choice, and the fabulous
catering that showed our love in such a practical way. n was very
much appreciated! The same was true of our 'Getting to Know You'
evening on Wednesday. Again, so many people commented on the care and

me.
