Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon We would like to thank ev eryone ^ for their concern and kindness in the passing o f our mother, Dixie Dawn Wiley. For the prayers, cards, beautiful flowers, delicious food, phone calls, and the lovely dinner af ter her service in Spray. Each and everyone of you are such special people and we really did lean on your support. The ser vice held at Amber Rose is one that will not soon be forgotten. God bless you all, Ron Brisbois and family Randy Britt and family 1-28-lp 1 would like to take this op portunity to thank all of the peo ple who work extremely hard to make the Town and Coun try Banquet such a success. I was honored to receive my award, and later that night thought o f many things 1 could have said to express my grate fulness to be a part o f such a special community. The staff, parents, and children make our school a terrific place to be. I count my blessings because something wonderful happens everyday at school. The day o f the banquet was no exception. I had read a sto ry about Martin Luther King, Jr. to a group of first graders. After 1 read the page about King being shot and killed, Jus tin’s hand immediately went up into the air, so I called on him. Instead o f a question, he stat ed, “Mrs. Elguezabal, Martin Luther King, Jr. surely went straight to heaven cause o f all the good things he did for those poor people!” It is an honor, a privilege and yes, a blessing, to be here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Mary Ann Elguezabal 1 -28-1 c sn The Town of Lexington is seek in g a M a in te n a n c e W orker. This is a 40-hour per week position.
