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,

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.
