TO OUR FAITH FAMILY:

Thank you so much for the blessing of the Carolers and Poinsettia. It filled my heart with so much joy! The Moms Connect for the gift of Color Street nail polish strips was also such a nice surprise. Bruce and I want to thank you all for your continued prayers over us and our family. Bruce is making steady progress and his recent labs show significant improvements, showing us his treatment protocol is working. We are so thankful for all God has done. In Him, Bruce and Julie Maley

THANK YOU: Our family would like to thank all who sent prayers, phone calls, cards, condolences, food, and the many kind expressions of love and support as we laid to rest our husband/father and daughter/sister in the last few weeks.
