Thanks to all of you for the cards and all your loving thoughts. I enjoyed reading each of them. I have enjoyed working for the church and always felt it was an honor. SPC has always been a very fine and loving church. The best part of it is the congregation

and their great love of God.

Love, Tom Francis
