THANKS

NOTE OF THANKS

The family of Flara B. Gherke wants to thank everyone for the visits, beautiful cards, flowers, delicious food, or who helped in any way during the illness and death of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. Most of all we appreciate the prayers! We especially want to say “thank you” to the following: Wonderful caregivers who were dependable and provided excellent care for her at home and came to visit while in the hospital; Minnie Hamilton Health System’s doctors, nurses, and staff who provided wonderful, loving care during her stay in Long Term Care and ICU units and were very helpful to the family during the last days of her life; Stump Funeral Home for making a most difficult time much easier for all of us; Elder Mark Minney, Rev. Curtis Smith, and Rev. David VanHorn for officiating during the services and providing the comforting words needed by family and friends; David and Linda VanHorn for the lovely music; pallbearers who assisted during the services; and First Baptist Church of Grantsville and Victory Baptist Church for providing a wonderful meal for the family. If we have left anyone out, please be assured we appreciate everything that was done on behalf of Flara Gherke. May God richly bless you all! Your acts of kindness will never be forgotten.

 

NOTE OF THANKS

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with the Dip and Donate Benefit on my behalf on Sunday, May 4. I want to thank everyone on the Benefit Committee, Wood Festival Committee, community, churches, those who made monetary donations, those who donated and prepared the wonderful food, and anyone else I have missed. Also, a special thank you to Duane Wolverton, Junior Smith and Lloyd Wright who purchased the muzzleloader and donated it for the raffle. My family and I appreciate and will never forget the love and giving of our friends and neighbors at this cross-roads in our lives. My dad Roger, mom Loretta, husband Micky, daughter Shayla, and sons Caden and Colten are forever indebted to this community. We could not have chosen a better place to have been born. Thank you and we appreciate all of you. God’s richest blessings to everyone. Love in Christ.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORY OF

RUSSELL RAY WEHRLE

May 29, 1966 - May 7, 2007

GRIEF WITH RELIEF

My baby boy gave me such joy.

It seems so unfair to speak of him

                  in the past tense.

My mind is tormented and this

          logic makes less sense.

Even though I’m engulfed in the

                    grip of my grief.

I thank God for some sense

                               of relief.

Knowing Russell Ray’s a child

                           of God and

How quickly his name was called.

Leaves me with mixed emotions

        that over takes my body

Like the fierce force of the ocean.

No . . . Russ wasn’t young when

he was abruptly to succumb.

Even at the age of 40 years;

         does not keep away the

              volume of my tears.

Past . . . I’ve only heard of this kind

of loss. Only now do I realize

                       the total cost.

The grief is in my gut, heart and soul; continuing to leave this deep

                          empty hole.

The relief of not worrying over my

baby boy; knowing he’s experi-

encing a new overwhelming joy.

The selfish part wants to hold him

         close and let him know

       Mommy loves you most.

 

IN LOVING MEMORY OF

EUNICE CHRISTINE RICHARDS

June 8, 1927 to May 8, 2007

SORROW

We sat beside your bedside, our

hearts were crushed and sore;

We did our best to the end,

      ’til we could do no more.

In tears we watched you sinking,

We watched you fade way; were

                              breaking,

When God called, we knew you

                      could not stay.

You left behind some aching hearts,

That loved you most sincere.

We never shall and never will

forget all the love and memories

             that we hold so dear.

We will always love and miss you, Mom.

 

Love you and miss you,

Children, step-children,

grandkids and great-grandkids
