HILDEBRANT: Expressing our deepest gratitude

We would like to express our deepest gratitude for the outpouring, heartfelt support showed by the community, friends and family during the JoAnn Hildebrant cancer fundraiser at the Post Falls Senior Center on April 25.

We were overwhelmed at the response by those who attended, assisted or who donated. Even though our area is growing, there's still a strong sense of community to take care of each other and we have been reminded of that. It was truly amazing and overwhelming.

It's easier for us to give than to receive, but the support from far and wide are appreciated beyond what words can say.

Please know that your warm thoughts and prayers have been felt by us throughout this process and have helped immensely. We are extremely grateful for having each of you in our lives.

ALLEN and JOANN HILDEBRANT and FAMILY
