It is time that I take time to give thanks to the wonderful people who make up our Vineyard world. You have all kept us afloat with your generous gifts of love, visits, food, letters, cards, hugs, calls and more. We are made much more aware of the special bonds we have in the way we share our grief and our joy. Herb and I were always aware that we lived in a special community of friends on this Island, and you have proved us right. There are not words to thank you each in full but please know that a day does not pass that we don’t thank each and every one of you. Life does go on and there is enough love out there to carry us all past grieving back into our Vineyard life. We give thanks to all of you.
