A Note of Thanks… Dear FBC Family, Thank you so much for the calls, texts, cards, visits, meals… but most of all for your pray-ers. I feel very fortunate that I received quick & excellent medical care while being prayed for by family, friends & those I might never meet. We are so very blessed! May you feel God’s blessings each day! We humbly thank God for such a loving extended family. Phala & Lyn Burleson
