Editor:

We would like to thank all the people that helped during the Memorial Day Service held last Sunday in Woodsboro. It was a great success and without the help of the community, it would not have been possible.

Also to the people who donated food: Mary Mendez, Veronica Mead, Gloria Abila, Susy Escamilla, Kitty Foster, Fastbreak, Whit Lamson, and Nacho Moya; for the iced tea Rey Quintanilla, Stella Abila and Haertig Grocery.

For the cakes: Linda Espinosa, Leo and Leticia Cantu, Mary Veselka and Mary Ripstein. Cooks: Robert Cisneros, Nacho Moya, and Tom Whight.

Thanks to the people who donated money for the flags: Woodsboro First National Bank, Sheriff Bolcik, Harvey and Nancy Diersckhe, Tuttle’s Grocery, Ann Lopez, Ricky and Gayle Piwetz, Cindy Fernandez, Lorraine Lopez, Mario and Roxanne Hernandez and Juan Aguilar.

Special thanks to Bill Kennedy for helping us with the publicity. We especially thank Vince Cantu, formerly of Refugio, for taking his time to be our guest speaker and making this one of our best services yet.

To all those who attended the ceremonies, we thank you and May God Bless.
