CARD OF THANKS
I want to take this
opportunity to thank my
family, relatives, every
friend, every member of the
staff of Westbury, and any
one who in any way helped to
make my Christmas such a
glorious one! My health
wasn’t the best over the
holidays but it seemed with
every card or gift I received,
I’d feel just a little better,
just to realize there were
folks like you, who cared. I
pray that each of you had
wonderful holidays and that
God will keep you in his
precious care, until we can
all meet on the other shore.
May he continue to richly
bless you all is my daily
prayer. Love, Mrs. Alice
Williamson, Westbury Home.
