express the appreciation and
overwhelming feeling of love
that our family has received
from this community. I would
love to list everyone and everything that they have
done for us from the flowers, prayers, help at the
house and monetary donations but, we would be afraid
of missing someone. Thirteen years ago John and I
decided to move our family here because we grew up
in a small town and remember the connections we felt
in the community there. I never would have imagined
that the friends, family and community we have here
would mean more to us than where we grew up. We
are very proud to call Heppner and the surrounding
areas home. Thank you again for all your support. We
have a long road ahead o f us with Kellie recovering
and John starting his journey soon.. .We know we will
be fine with the love and support o f this community
and our Lord.
