Thank You
The family of Mike
Cocanougher gratefully wish to
express our sincere appreciation
to the people of Goldthwaite who
' have prayed for us during Mike’s
: extended illness and through
these last trying months. We have
been ever so mindful of the
prayers that have been spoken in
our behalf and we want each of
you to know that your prayers
were answered. Mike’s peaceful,
final days were a testimony to
that very fact. Thank you all for
loving and supporting us in a
variety of different ways. There
was not one thing needed that
someone didn’t step forth and
provide. We are very blessed to
be in a fine community with an
abundance of kind and caring
people. Thank you!
