THE FAMILY of Ray Zirnhelt would like to express their gratitude for all the love and hugs given to us during this difficult time. To Lisbon Area Health Service, to Dr. Julia Garcia, to Father Jerry Finnestad for the blessing and visit, to Meritcare and staff, also the Drs. of Meritcare involved with Ray’s care. To Father Christianson of St. Mary’s for the blessing, to FM Ambulance Service and the Lisbon Ambulance. Especially to the staff on 6th floor Meritcare for the care given to Ray and family that night. To Debbie and Charlie Armstrong for the terrific service rendered. For all the food, suppers and help given was all so greatly appreciated. To the ladies of St. Aloysius for the lunch after the prayer service and the great dinner, also for all the beautiful floral arrangements given for him. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for everything that helped ease the pain in some small way. God put a great man Raymond on this earth to plant a family, and watch them grow and harvest the love from all of us. Then God needed him in heaven and he left us all with memories and legends to plant, grow, and harvest. All our love and thoughts are with you.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK
all those who offered comfort and showed us such kindness after the loss of our mother and step-mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Faye Weisenhaus. And to thank the many who cared for her: at the Beverly Anne, Parkside Lutheran Home and Hospice. For Betty and Warren Wiltse, words alone cannot express how much we appreciated the way you opened your home, your arms and your hearts. Thank all of you for being there for us.

A BIG THANK YOU to all those that attended my November 1 benefit. Thank you to Fargo Assembly Co. for putting this on for me. To Kevin and Cory and my co-workers, thanks for all your hard work. It definitely was a success. Thanks also to the Milnor School for the use of the building and equipment. To those that donated time, talents, food items, silent auction items and your financial support-thank you. I am very blessed to have a wonderful family, friends and a very caring community. Thank you for your care and concern these past months, but please continue to say a prayer in my battle with this disease. It is with the support of so many that I have made it this far. Thank you all so very, very much. I truly appreciate all you have done for me. It was a day I will never forget. May God bless you all.
