We will never forget the feelings of protection and comfort it gave us to have the state police protecting us from the hungry media on our way to the burial services of our daughter. Neither will we forget the long hours our neighbors, “Buzz” and “Bucky,” provided security at the entrance of our driveway, warding off any unwanted attention from the media.

There are many other things to be thankful for, and even in our sorrow, we are counting our blessings. And we thank the whole nation for prayer support. It is only through our faith in Jesus Christ that forgiveness is possible. He is the One who deserves the praise and glory, not us Amish.

We close in thanking everyone, whether it be in prayer, thought or deed, for the support and help you’ve given.

Mr. and Mrs. Amos K. Ebersol
