THANK YOU!
Greater New Guide
Your kind and thoughtful expression of sympathy is deeply appreciated and gratefully acknowledged. At a time when we needed it the most, your acts of kindness brought comfort to our family. Your support means more than words can express.

Pastor and the GNC family,
May God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace. (2 Corinthians 1:2)
Words cannot express our gratitude for the support, love, gifts, cards, and other acts of kindness shown to us in the loss of our mother, Edna Tillman. Your love comforted us in ways you will never know. Thank you for your prayers that sustained us.
Please continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.
Yours in Christ,
Dolores Vincent, Dorothy Norman, Mary Tillman and family members.
