Helping ‘angels’

To the editor:

This is in response to the article that appeared in the Journal World, July 29, titled “Labor of Love .”

Pat and I are sending our most sincere, heartfelt thanks to Bill Smith, Frank Dehart, friends and family and all who came together to complete a beautiful job of painting our home July 27-28. It’s been almost three weeks, and it’s been hard to put into words all the love and caring we’ve felt brought forth from this gift.

The project ran so smoothly with everyone working wherever needed under the guidance of Bill and Frank. Many remarked it was like a gathering to raise a barn: Sharing of the food and friendships was great, and it never ran out. Its finished look was not only beautiful, but something done out of love with lots of fun, laughter and tears. The angels came!
