A note from Avalyn Halls family:

To the Congregation and Staff,
Our sincere thank you to all of you who have prayed, sent cards, and notes and visited with our Mom, Avalyn Halls, these past few years while she was at home. We especially give our thanks for your care and concern since she has moved to Sierra View, and through her recovery time from the hip fracture. It is a sure example of ministering in Christ’s name and being the church in action.

In Christ’s name, Sue Shoemaker and Thom Halls
