I am back in Arizona after bringing my wife’s remains back to the Dunseith Cemetery. When I got my North Dakota bank statements there were several very generous deposits to my account from those terrific people who supported the benefit golf tournament and contribution effort to help me pay the bills that were not covered by my insurance plan. Those costs were for the nursing assistants I hired from an agency here giving home care for those who need it. The cost was just short of 11,000 per month. The help that my Rolette County, Bottineau County, and the Province of Manitoba friends was meaningful and appreciated more than words can convey. There were just a few of the names which were included on the deposit entries which I could read. I am so grateful to all, for this generosity my friends and relatives revealed in their continuing outreach during my challenging period of time. Without this loyalty, life would be a drag instead of the optimism I feel about the future and how I can help repay some of the kindness that came to me. My heartfelt gratitude and appreciation and yes, love, for being the people you are, and what you do for one another, and how you demonstrate all the valuable characteristics that our country and our Christian faiths inspire. Thank you from my heart. Bill Hosmer
