Thanks
To the angels in Marblehead: I want to thank all of you for the kindness you gave to my sister, Gail Anderson, in her time of need. You took care of her from the time the breast cancer set in, to losing her job and lastly when the leukemia ravaged her body. Without all of the help you gave her she wouldnt have survived as long or as well as she did. You made sure that she had food, made sure her bills were up to date, some of you gave her odd jobs to do to help with expenses, you gave her love and hope and the friendship only a small town can do. Some of you do not live in Marblehead any more but I still consider you Marblehead Angels. The Ya Yas, the Elves, the Lutherans, the Catholics, the Methodists, the Greek Catholic Byzantine, the Russian Orthodox, the UCC, The Chapel on the Lake and all the rest of you who helped with prayers, gifts, love, work around the house (WOW, what an improvement). If I tried to name all of you I know I would miss many so you know who you are and please accept my utmost thank you. God bless all of you! With love and sincere gratitude, Sharon Mefferd
