Pictured is Kirsten Olsen with her daughter, Lisbeth Patterson of Orem, granddaughter, Majbrit Rhodes of Provo and three month old great-granddaughter, Emily. Thank You! Having been the recipient of two new knees, the first new ones I’ve had since birth, and having had so much kindness exhibited to us by the people of this valley, we just want to express our love and appreciation to all who have helped, visited, and in any way showed compassion to us. It is hard to remember all of the many kind deeds that have come our way, so we say “THANK YOU” from our hearts and want you all to know how grateful we are for everything. Also to our customers of the Gunnison Valley Animal Clinic, we express our apologies for the inconvenience of our absence. My handicap along with Dr. Larsen being called to active duty with the National Guard has created some problems. We express our appreciation to our staff for all of their service and help. We both hope to be back to work in the near future. Thanks again, you’ve blessed our lives. Sincerely, Tom and Sharon Anderson Thank You! Lila Phillips would like to express her gratitude to all the nurses at the Gunnison Hospital for all their help and warm hearts during her stay last week while she was ill. She would also like to thank Jordan and her “morning crew” at her place of employment at the Gunnison City Pool for all their concern and great notes they sent her during her stay. Also a big Thank You to her six children for their phone calls and concerns. Especially Tammy and Wendy who were both very, very helpful. They were always there when she needed support. On Sunday the elders served her the sacrament, and that was a “biggie” in her book. We are so lucky to have such a great hospital and the nurses and aids are all very efficient. They all deserve a great big Thank You. FOR SALE King Pillow Top Mattress Set Retail $1010 Will sell for $399 435-979-0111 FOR SALE Never Used! Still in plastic.
