Letter: Outpouring of love
Editor: As a youngster growing up in a small town in southern Indiana during the Depression, you knew nearly everyone by first and last names. In emergencies or deaths, you could count on the support of relatives, friends and neighbors for food, comfort and sympathy.
Since the death of my wife, Barbara, on Aug. 6, I have been amazed and deeply comforted by the same support and sympathy of so many people from our adopted hometown, Atwater. and the surrounding area. We have been overwhelmed with food, cards and phone calls.
Rather than risk the mention of anyone involved in this outpouring of love and sympathy, let me say from the bottom of my heart, may our Lord, Jesus Christ richly bless each and every one of you.
RICHARD M. CLERKIN AND FAMILY
