Dear Editor;

“For friendships rare beyond compare” was given to Bonnie and me as we celebrated the life of a precious sister and daughter, Elizabeth.

The Tugboat Inn Restaurant was filled with loving people who came to share their compassion to us was wonderful, overwhelming and appreciated. Debbie, with the help of Shanni, Laurie and Kim, made the day so beautiful. Thank you, girls, for all you have done for Liz. Thank you, Mark, Stephanie and Andy Hawke, for coming to Fort Lauderdale to help all of us. D.J. and Megan were so pleased to see you.

The many cards, flowers, food, gifts, phone calls and special visits over these past few weeks have been so appreciated.

Each and every one of you have a special place in our hearts for all of the kindness you have shown us.

Kay (McPhee) Brown and Bonnie Stover
