Card of Thanks-- Words fail to express our gratitude and thanks to all who helped lighten our recent sorrow. It is a comfort to know our friends are standing by us in our great sorrow and loss. It would seem an endless job to thank everyone peresonally so we are trying to reach everyone through our community papers, to express our sincere thanks and great appreciation to all our friends of this community for their generous gifts of money, clothing, food, floral offerings, and the many other deeds of kindness. We also thank the American Legion and the V.F.W. for their contributions and their part in the funeral services. The Noah Anliker family and relatives of Richard and Helen Anliker.
