Thank Letters Continued from Page 4 yelled for Ashely to come in to Garrett's room. I told her she needed to go get someone to help me. She knew just what to do. She got out of my door and ran over to her mom's house. Her mom was in the shower so could not hear her knocking on the door. So she knocked on her mom's neighbors door, she was crying so hard that they didnt hear her knocking, just crying. She asked them to ring her moms doorbell. She told her mom, hurry mom, Amanda is hurt way bad. Her mom wasnt sure what she was talking about but got dressed the whole time Ashely saying hurry mom, you gotta help her. Garrett helped me push the TV off my ankle, but every time I tried to move the chair the pain got worse. I would like everyone to know how brave that was for a three year old to know how to get help. Thanks so much Ashely and Garrett. You are both great kids!! Ashely you will forever be in my heart. I love you both Ashely and Garrett. Love, thanks Amanda Gorski Dear Editor: Sincere thanks Dear Editor: The family of Miranda Ann Kirby wish to express their heartfelt thanks for the outpouring of love and support felt from our family and friends during our recent loss.

We would like to thank the 7th Ward Relief Society for providing a delicious dinner after the funeral service. We extend our sincere thanks to family and friends who visited with sympathy and support, and truly appreciate all those who brought food, sent flowers and donated money.
