To the friends, neighbors and relatives of Fred E. Michael,

We wish to thank each of you:

For every sympathetic card,

Or note expressing your regard;

All the lovely flowers there,

The kindly words or little prayers;

A clasp of hand or gentle smile,

Sitting with us for awhile;

Any gift or just a call,

All gestures large or small;

Gave us comfort that sad day,

When our beloved was laid away;

No words can ever quite impart,

The gratitude within our hearts;

But we'll remember and when we do,

With love we'll whisper, "God Bless You."

We especially wish to thank Dr. Nallathambi, Dr. Samuel, Dr. Welker, Dr. Yost and Dr. John of the V.A. Medical Center, all Nurses, Aides and our special nurse Jean and Thompson-Miller Funeral Home.

Those who sent flowers, cards, food, donated the use of their cars, and all others who in any way tended to lessen our sorrow.
