Wilson family expresses thanks; vigil set
The Wilson and Turner families have issued a statement regarding the tragic traffic accident that killed Eve Wilson and seriously injured her mother, Nancy. In addition, a prayer vigil will be held for the family at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday on the courthouse square in Zebulon.
AGAIN MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY!!
My Deepest Prayers to you.
Bless you for gifting others through your selflessness in donating so others may be healthy.
A prayer for the tanker driver that he may be at peace in his heart as well.
Eve was our top cookie seller and Nancy still wants her to make her goal for this year. This is a program that is already in place. You simply decide how many boxes you want to donate and give that dollar amount to the Girl Scouts ($3.50 buys one box).
You don't choose cookie flavors or ever have to handle the actual boxes of cookies.
When I asked if she and James needed anything, she simply repeated that people need to donate boxes of cookies in Eve's name. So, if you have been asking what you can do, this is it.
You may contact me or you may take your donation to the First United Methodist Church office (1401 Maple Drive, Griffin). Cash donations are preferred. If you need to write a check, please make it payable to Girl Scouts Troop 10311.
Make sure donations are marked with Eve's name and how many boxes are being given.
Feel free to forward this information. I have feeling Eve is about to break a lot of records!
Thank you,
Meredith Schroeter

My words may not comfort, but know, I care.
**A Day With You**
Once a day and sometimes more
You knock upon my daydreams door
And I say warmly come right in
I'm glad you're here with me again.
Then we sit down and have a chat
Recalling this, discussing that
Until some task that I must do
Forces me away from you.
Reluctantly I say good-bye
Smiling with a little sigh
For though my daydreams bring you near
I wish that you were really here.
But what reality can not change
My dreams and wishes can arrange
And through my wishing, you'll be brought
To me each day... A happy thought!
