Dear Church Family,

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and the flowers. Thank you for all your prayers in this time of losing my mom.

Dear Faith Wesleyan,

Thank you for the beautiful flowers. They are setting on my table and cheering me as I write. We have felt your prayers and the wonderful peace that God gives. It would be truly lonely to go through this without him.

With love and thankfulness for your support,

Jim & Donna Sortman
