Marci Garrett, besides being “Super Mom’’ herself, came down to the house

community members! Thanks, Marci. Sandra Hahn for watching the babies so I
can rest, clean, or run to town.
A very big thank you to Christi and Buster Lane for the kids you have raised.
They come to the house and work! work! work! Thank you for lending them to
us; they will someday make good mothers. Thanks so much, Juanita and Monique.
Your help is never unnoticed or overlooked. You girls are a blessing.
Cheryl Lane - thanks for coming up to the house and your help. The Easter
family for all their love and help with the babies. And to Auntie Elouise - your
help was greatly appreciated. May the Lord bless you.
There have been so many people who have helped, organized, contributed,
and provided. It really means a lot for all who have played a part in the triplets’
little lives. Another big thank you to Kathryn Dick and the elders! They had a
shower for the babies and gave very nice gifts. It was a big surprise and we are
grateful for the gifts. So to all who helped us out in any way - thank you!
If we forgot someone, we are sorry. We are grateful to you and we don’t want
to hurt any feelings, but you know who you are and we appreciate you, too! The
triplets are such a great gift and a lot of work. We would just like to let people
know we don’t say thank you as often as we should, and we appreciate the time
you take to help us.
