Thanks for the Memories
What a wonderful “going away party!” Beginning with the delicious & beautifully designed cake, so many hugs, the cute bracelet with the hand bell from my favorite ‘ding-a-lings’, the great musical blanket with your words of love and encouragement, and then the surprise of all, the incredible monetary gift. WOW! You have always been a very generous church, but I was never expecting anything like this. I am going to have such a wonderful time deciding what I will buy in Spain. Perhaps a Picasso or Dali painting. . . well possibly a print, I don’t know, but I do know we will be going to see their works, so who knows.
As I’ve said, from day one I fell in love with the people of Chapel Hill and my fondness for you never changed. Chapel Hill has been one of my favorite churches to serve. I will continue to follow your life in the newsletter and perhaps I’ll even visit you one day, but always know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories!
