Thank you for taking such tender care of me.  You were truly the hands and feet of Jesus, lovingly caring for me in a time of great need.  I love you and could not be more pleased with how the reception turned out.  

 My friends and family were deeply blessed by the dinner event which followed.  It provided just the right space for our shared grief to be released in stories and laughter, hugs and tears. 

 There were people who knew each other well and people who had never met, all with the common denominator of Abe, which made way for lots of new connections - something Abe, the master of connecting people, would love to see happening!

 With great love and much gratitude,

Melissa Lincoln
