Thank You!

What a wonderful retirement celebration!  There was so much work and love and grace that went into the preparations.  Jeff and I had many happy times in the church and the manse and the beautiful painting of both will hang in the Arkport home as a constant reminder.  The Steuben glass owl hand cooler will be cherished.  It is a reminder of the wisdom I gained as we shared ministry together.  And the contribution to Cobblestone Springs is appreciated.  Cobblestone has been a place for me to go and find quiet and solitude. 

Thank you to the Sunday School for the very special song, to the “enhanced choir” and musicians for the beautiful music, to the kitchen crew and table setters for a wonderful and delicious banquet, and to all who spoke.  Thank you for the kind cards and notes and for the abundance of love you showered on both Jeff and me throughout the past eighteen years.

Much love,
Beverly
