Thanks!

Just a quick note to say "Thanks" to so many and for so much!

I wish that words could express the gratitude that I (and I think I can speak for the entire family) feel for the consistent prayers, kind words, cards, notes, financial and emotional support that we've received over these past 100 days.

Dad may be gone, but definitely will not be forgotten. And you can play a BIG part in keeping that memory alive. Make The Best is Yet to Be! a part of what you do for those around you.

As the need for this blog wanes, the need for that same kind of fervor towards others continues to grow. When Dad had his aneurysm, help came from near and far. We felt it!

However, we also heard many stories from others in need. Some of those stories even came from friends & family that were dealing with ongoing health or spritual battles of their own.

When Ron closed the celebration at FBC Saturday, he told us to use a bit of Buddy when we said our goodbyes as we left. I'm saying to take it a little bit further. There are lots of buddys in need out there!!

Somewhere is a person that needs your prayers. Someone who needs the consistency you've given to reading this blog daily. Someone that may need a hand... emotionally, physically, or financially.

We know that ultimately the Best IS Yet to Be... but what about before we get to heaven? Is that phrase applicable RIGHT NOW?

It can be... If we use our prayers, time, talents, abilities & successes to help others. Make a difference! Whether in your home, neighborhood, church, school or workplace!

That's the best way I can think of to use a "bit of Buddy".

Honor his memory by doing your part to make sure that, even while here on earth, the Best is Yet to Be!
