To my silent angel,

I would like to thank you for the gift you left me in the Narthex on Easter Sunday.  My name was on the outside of the package, but nothing to identify who had done such a thoughtful act.

 I have asked several people but to no avail.  My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the gift and I would love to be able to properly thank you for your love and kindness. 

 Please let me know so I can remember you, my special angel, in my prayers.  God Bless you.  Nancy Barbour
