Our sincere thanks to our many friends, neighbors and relatives who called, sent cards, flowers or food, during the loss of our wife and mother, Shirley A. Hayden.

We know that a lot of people prayed for Mom and continue to be there for Pat.

Thank you for being the special friends that you have been.

A special note to Dr. David Melniczek - words can’t express how grateful we are to you for everything you did for Mom.

Also, to the many nurses that we encountered throughout the 7 months since surgery - either at Butler Health System, Concordia, Sunnyview or VNA - Thank you for your patience and skills.

We are truly grateful to so many people.
