When Mike first became ill in May 2002, we were overwhelmed by the support given to us - so overwhelmed. Then in November 2003 when Mike relapsed we had all of you there to help us again and again we were overwhelmed and amazed by your continued support, care and concern. There were so many people who rallied to help us get over the bumps in the road on our journeys in life. On February 21, 2004 our lives changed drastically with the death of Mike and yet again you were all there for us. You made sure we were surrounded by family and friends all the time. The visits, food, cards and gifts of support came rushing in and still are. The sea of people who came to the funeral to help us say good-bye to Mike was so very much appreciated and a wonderful honour to Mike. Hoffman's Funeral Home and Uncle Chub (Grant), you did a great job in helping give Mike the farewell he deserved and we thank you. I could list pages and pages of people to thank but you know who you are and we thank and appreciate you so much. Outstanding, supporting, over- whelming kindness, caring, amazing - just some character- istics of our community. As the Boys and I start out on our new journey in life we are comforted to know and so very proud to be part of such a com- munity. Thank you all so much. Love and thanks from, Todd, Taylar, Kristyn and "Angel Mike" (11) 105 Cards of Thanks OVERHOLT - Life lives on in the people whose lives he touched. We will be forever grateful to all of you who have walked this journey with us. It has been a difficult road but we could not have done it without you. For those of you who took the time to call, send cards, and had Masses said, it was you who lifted our spirits daily, reassuring us we were not alone. We are grateful to the team of doctors and nurses, especially Dr. Lam, Dr. Sorsdahl, Dr. Kerr, Joanne Kadlecik and clinical nurse Nancy Gregg, whose care for Phil was outstanding. We have great respect for the St. Elizabeth Health Care organi- zation as their constant support and overwhelming empathy is remarkable. We would like to give special recognition to Shelley Hayter, Phil's home care nurse, for without her we would not have been able to care for Phil at home. The out- pouring of community support will never be forgotten. To all who prepared food for us we are so very thankful. Even though our hearts were broken, you nourished our souls. To Joyce and her staff at J.M. McBeath Funeral Service, thank you for your compassion and professionalism during a very frightening time. The flowers, plants, donations and gifts surrounded us like a beau- tiful garden and we thank those who graciously added to those tributes. We thank God for the wonderful spiritual support provided by Father Francis Thekkumkattil and Father Gary Ducharme. Throughout Phil's illness you constantly reminded us of the power in prayer and faith, especially during the Funeral and Mass. We all were very moved by the wonderful music provided by Aimee Rau, Rick Bedard, Debra Overholt, and Jackie Clausius. It was a powerful service and each of you added a very special touch to Phil's farewell. As well, thank you to the pall bearers Jim Bedard, Gary Kline, Mike Overholt, Jeff Consitt, Gregory Hassall, and grandson Scott Overholt. Each of you were very, very special to Phil and he would have been so proud to have you carry him to his rest- ing place. Many thanks to the Mennonite Church for allowing us to host our large family and many friends in your fellow- ship hall, and to the CWL of St. Boniface for the delicious lunch. Thank you to the Knights of Columbus; for the prayer service at the funeral home was a reminder of Phil's commitment to his church and his faith in God. Proudly bear- ing flowers were Phil's grand- children, Magen and Ashley Overholt; Melanie and Stacey Overholt; Candace, Breanne and Alyssa Becker; Tyler and Nicholas Overholt. These chil- dren were very special to Phil and it is in them that Phil's legacy will live on forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and with heartfelt gratitude. Vonnie Overholt and children; Barry and Karen, Sandy & Joe, Nancy & Joe and Dwayne & Jodi (11*) PINCOMBE - Six weeks sure is a long time to hop around!
