Gratitude Gathering: One Grateful Night at Joslyn Art Museum These Thank You Notes Offer More Than the Usual Rewards…Here are this year's winning letters. Michele Fuller is our first winner. Her mother was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in November of 2001. This letter was written and given to her 3 weeks before she died. Our next letter was written by Fr. Pat's niece, Patty, in gratitude for her sister Margaret, who died just two months ago from a brain tumor. Our next letter was written by a wonderful young freshman from Grand Island Central Catholic. Riley Meyer lost his Mom to a brain aneurism just last fall. His amazing letter captures the profound new depths of gratitude that only loss can help us to realize. Our next two letters are from Chad and Clay Pfeifer, sophomore twins from Grand Island Central Catholic who were given an assignment in religion class to write someone a gratitude letter and bring it to class the next day. They turned theirs in and when they got them back, Ms. Krance reminded them to mail their letters. The two boys turned around to each other and handed them across the aisle. Their astonished, "You wrote ME????" was simultaneous. They are twins, yet uniquely individual. One typed his letter with every word perfect. The other's handwriting was crossed out in places. Yet both wrote great letters. Our next letter comes from Austin, a student at St. Pius Leo elementary who wrote to his brother, Ben, who helped him through a hard time and continues to be a hero in his life… More gratitude for siblings, Evan Stoler wrote his letter to his older sister. Evan is a student at Lewis and Clark Middle School. Next is a very special letter from Lewis and Clark
Middle School student Lea
to her Our next letter is from Carolyn Tchampl Diesing, or as her OPS High school Career Center students call her, Mrs. T-D! This next letter is from one of our parishioners, Pat Stanosheck, to her sister. And finally, Amy
Saucer wrote a touching letter from one sister to another, And
how they, too, were there for each other. |
