Sue Wetmore - email from Sue: "Please let our Adult 5 class know how thankful we are for the food provided on Friday. Also, I wish to thank everyone that was in attendance at Dad's funeral. My heart is filled with love and gratitude for the care that everyone has given my family in the last nine months. I can hardly believe that both of my parents are gone, but I am grateful to have our Sunday School class to get me through the difficult days. We are a family that is so thankful for a loving and caring God. Thank you, and I am praying for God's blessing for each and every class member."
