CARD OF
THANKS
How can one say
“Thank You” to so many
friends, relatives and
fellow church mem
bers?( After ten weeks in
hospitals and at home
indoors since Sept. 25
there have been so many
cards, visits, food, etc. I
could not begin to name
everyone but I cherish
each one of you. You have
showed me how in Perry
people really care. Os
course one expects many
things of one’s church but
these kindnesses to me
have gone far beyond our
church friends. Every act
of kindness has been
deeply appreciated but
the visits since I have
been at home and shut in,
have been so wonderful to
help keep my courage up
at a time when I needed
those helpful visits badly.
May God be very near to
each of you during 1980.
Sincerely
Willie Bell Roberts
1340 Main St.
Perry, Ga.

flowers and fruit and for
the lovely food which was
