A Special Note from Keith Hinerman
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Hinerman family, I want to thank our Centenary Family for the many expressions of love and sympathy that have been received since my Dad's passing. Your thoughtful acts are very much appreciated.
The memorial service for my dad at Centenary on February 9, was very meaningful to our family. My dad always loved the church and Centenary played such an important part in his life. He felt that our church was fulfilling God's love and purpose in the Richmond area.
Also, I must thank those who provided the lovely reception following the service. It provided a wonderful opportunity to greet those folk who attended the service.
In closing, I just want to express my thanks and love to everyone.
Sincerely Yours,
Keith Hinerman
