| A note sent to our Social Service Department - "There are no words that can adequately express our sincere gratitude for the enormous and very generous gifts of kindness and help you gave our family. There is no way we could ever repay you all for helping stabalizing us to get over a bump. We noe live except to pledge to never forget to share our experience with you to others and when possible to do as you do - paying it forward, helping others as you do. You showed us we aren't alone and there are people who care and are so eager to be there during trying times. God Bless You! Totally Grateful and with much appreciation - The Logan Family" 5/23/11 |
