THANK YOU

Dear Faculty, Parents, Students and Friends,

It seemed that the passing of my mother could not have come at a worse time for me with the play about to begin, unexpected repairs demanding my attention, (My mother used to say things break down in threes and she has been right too often), and Gale’s birthday. But God is in control and knows what is best. The outpouring of love and support, of compassion and gifts from the school family has been overwhelming! My time with my family in California was wonderful! God showed me how much He has been working there to bring many of the members of my family to Christ! What a blessing!

Thank you for all you have done. Please know that you have been a blessing to me and to my family. I love you all!

In Him, Kirk Post
