To my Friends, Family, & Community

I would like to extend so much thanks to all that have offered condolences, sent cards, flowers, messages, calls, and hugs during this time of tremendous loss of my Mom, Jeanine. It has been a very difficult time for me and without the support of this wonderful community I’m not sure how I would have handled things. I would like to say a special thanks to Ronnie Ragusin, Sylvia Ragusin, Linda Tippit, Brianne Key, Brenda Lovett, Nick & LeaAnn Ragusin, Sally Ragusin, Deedra Short & family, my cousin Beulah, Ann Pesek, my First National Bank family (especially Dawn & Debbie), Connie Barrientes, Donna Mac, Mickie Vossler, the board of the PO’C Community Center, the PO’C First Bapist Church, the PO’C Service Club, and Brother George Yarbrough. The upmost thanks to Coach Raymond Grant who travelled outside of his wheelhouse to accommodate me and who sang the most beautiful rendition of ‘In the Garden’ these ears have ever heard, it will live on in my heart forever.

I know that Mom is always with me because she placed me in this community. This community she loved, that she always came back to. This community my Papa says ‘She was at her best.’ I don’t want to let her go but I know she wouldn’t have left me if she didn’t think I couldn’t stand on my own 2 feet. I am forever thankful to this community, my friends, family, and my Zachery for being the support I needed when I didn’t think I could stand.

Thank you all so much,
Amber Bricker
