Cathy's Message to Her Wonderful Co-Workers



To my GANT Family,
I want to personally thank Janice Wilson for the beautiful comfort shawl that she made for me.  Friday afternoon, Janice and Kathy M. came by to present this to me and read the prayer to me.  I was so moved!  The outpouring of love and prayers continues even though it has already been six months since my accident. (The Prayer is attached below)

I want to acknowledge my entire GANT family as well.  I deeply appreciate all of you.  You have been supporting me through this entire ordeal.  I know the doctors know this, but I want to extend my gratitude to all of you as well for allowing me to work part-time when I am able and for saving my job for me.  I have a deep loyalty to GANT as I have been a part of it for so many years.  Returning to work in January was one of my main goals, and because of all of you, I definitely accomplished that goal.  I plan to continue my road to recovery starting today as I am about to undergo my first surgery.  Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Love, 
Cathy

As you wrap yourself in the prayer shawl of comfort...
May the Mother of Mercy, the Father of Faithfulness and the Spirit of Compassion
wrap you in their all-encompassing love this day.

May you find comfort
   from all that appears too much to bear at this moment
   from all that feels as if it might be the breaking point
   from all that seems to threaten your peace of heart.

May this prayer shawl be
   a shelter for time of overwhelming grief
   a shade in times of sorrow too deep for words
   a shield from times of unimaginable loss.

May you be comforted
   by the presence of those who love and support you
   by faith in the eternal Loving One
   by the memories of what you hold most dear.

May you be strengthened
   in your daily comings and goings
   in your tentative new beginnings
   in your unfolding new memories.

Blessings of the Angel of Comfort be with you and all you love now and forevermore.
