Mandi and I would like to extend our thanks to CIC for such amazing help and love during our hardest days. Here is our thank you note to CIC. The loss of our wonderful loving father, Bill Gerrow, was devastating and disorienting. The attention and comfort we received from the CIC community felt like a big hug towards our family at a time when we needed it most. We want to thank everyone that was involved in making the Celebration of Life service for our father such a special and memorable experience. Our thanks extends to everyone who was involved, which we realize was a long list of people! From the centerpieces on the tables in the fellowship hall, to the attendance of the registry book, the gorgeous communion table arrangement and of course all the delicious refreshments…thank you to everyone and anyone that helped with the service. The A/V folks were able to stream the service online for over 300 people to view. Some as far away as France and Qatar! This meant so much to our friends and family that could not attend. A special thank you to pastor Bryan for helping us shape the service into something that truly reflected our voice and connection with our father. CIC is like family and we felt at home. Thank you!! Ashley and Mandi |
