Dear South Gate Congregation,
Thank you for your thoughtful donation to St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Joplin in memory of our father, Meril Davidson. Your expression of condolence through your support of St. Paul's means so much to us. Dad benefited greatly from their homebound services and the fellowship he enjoyed through the church. I know St. Paul's will administer the funds with dignity. Dad would be touched.
Sincerely,
Lynn Huff, Deanna Orwig, Angela Davidson, Bruce Davidson
