Personal Note

To GRCC Staff and Faculty,

Your cards of sympathy and expressions of kindness to myself and Bertha after the death of my mother are appreciated more than words can express. Your friendship and support during this difficult time meant a great deal to us.

Thank you all so much,

Wendell and Bertha Chivis
