A SPECIAL NOTE OF THANKS FROM DEBORAH LOE
Being no stranger to grief, I did not imagine that my mother’s death would affect me so deeply, especially since she had suffered for so long. I could not have borne it without the support of my dear Christian friends at Coram Deo Academy. How can I express my thanks to everyone who supported me and continue to support me with their prayers, cards, flowers, talks, and good wishes? Umm, I better not forget the chocolate! Thank you dear friends, teachers, parents, students, and mother’s prayer group. Please continue to pray for my 86 year old father as he works through his grief. My mother and father, devoted to each other, were together for 60 years. God bless you, Deborah (Loe).
