Dear Editor,

I would like to take the time to thank all of the many people that braved the winter weather last Thursday evening to come out and support our fundraiser for Maria Feldkamp. Maria and her family are very dear to all of us and it was just a small way that we felt we could help out with her fight against breast cancer.

There are so many people to thank, and I do not want to leave anyone out. So I simply want to say thank you to all of you who donated in some way; for the chili dinner, auction donations, etc. Thank you all so much!

There are a few individuals and groups of people that I do, however, want to mention. We could not have put this event on without their generous help:

Spencer Evening World

Billy Williams Auctions and his crew – Tim, Connie, Wilma and Kim

Gosport Elementary School – Principal Carol Watson and her staff

Friends of Maria who’s plans became reality; Shanda, Vicki, Lisa, Karen, Rita, Tom, Julie, Linda, Tracy, Garnet, Carol, Kindra, Sharon and Dave.

Our hope and prayer is that we never have to do another fundraiser to help support friends, family, neighbors and community members who fight this terrible disease called cancer, but the fact is we do and we will. Our prayers continue to be with Maria as she fights this everyday and our heartfelt prayers go out to all of you who also fight this. God Bless you all!
