We would like to thank everyone who has been so generous with their donations of food, money, clothing, household items and more since we lost everything in a fire on July 1. We would especially like to thank Courtland, Cedar Springs, Oakfield, Spencer, Sand Lake, and Algoma Fire Departments; Rockford Ambulance; The Springs Church, Cedar Springs United Methodist Church, and Courtland Oakfield United Methodist Church; our dear friends Duane and Tiffany; our neighbors Laura and Don DeLange; the Klco family; Cedar Café; B&B Beauty Salon; The Cedar Springs Post; and so many others who have helped us. We could not get through this without you! You’ve turned a tragic moment into a blessing from the Lord. Thank you all so much!

Thank you from the family of Dorothy Helsel for all the prayers, visits, food, flowers, and most importantly the love given us. Thank you Father Lam and everyone from St. John Paul II for such a beautiful celebration of Mom’s life. Kevin Pike, you are amazing to work with and did a wonderful job of taking care of our needs. Family and friends, you came from near and far, we love and thank you all. God bless. 

Our heart and soul went into the house that was lost on Friday the 13th. But, it was made a little more bearable by the out pouring of support and effort made by our local brave men and women of our local fire departments. As the Supervisor of Nelson township I didn’t fully understand the sacrifice that these men and women make doing this job until 11:20 pm on Friday night. Knowing my house was going to be a complete loss – they did everything they could to save my neighbors and they did. And for this I’m beyond grateful.

Thank you – Sand Lake Fire Department, Cedar Springs Fire Department, Spencer Fire Department, Courtland Fire Department and Oakfield Fire Department.

The Britton Family

From the bottom of our hearts, we can not begin to thank you for all of your thoughts, prayers, cards and gifts. We can not think of a better place to raise our family. Ross and Lyle would have been very happy to see you all. 

To honor them, be kind and humble everyday. Life is short…enjoy the ride.

Thank the Lord for sending his angels of protection to watch over me when I was in a car accident on White Creek Avenue last Wednesday night, September, 6th.  It was a very scary thing to have someone’s headlights coming at me in my lane and swerving off the road to avoid hitting the oncoming car head on. I know I ended up in the ditch and totaled my car but it could have been a lot worse if I had hit the car head on. Too bad the driver of the other car never stopped, I don’t even know if they even were aware of what happened.

Thank you to the kind couple that stopped to help me after my accident. You were very kind and helpful and I appreciate it very much. Thank you to Rockford Ambulance for getting me to Spectrum Butterworth where I got checked over and nothing was broken, just bruised pretty good. I’m doing much better now.  Thank you to my husband, Michael Sanderson for coming to my aid so quickly and being by my side at the hospital. Thank you to all the doctors and nurses that helped take care of me.

With many thanks, 

Belinda Sanderson

Thanks to everyone that participated and attended the annual Joel C. Stone Memorial Golf Outing The money made goes to a deserving Cedar Springs High School Senior to continue their education. Also, a BIG thanks goes to Nick Pope, Duke Saboo and Tom Cargill for organizing this event. Thanks as well, goes to the following people for the great prizes they donated. Grandma Del, Uncle Ger, Aunt Jo, Aunt Lisa, Phil DeVries, Lisa Synder, Pat VanderHyde, Denise Jourdan, Debby Hume and from Illinois, Alex and Sandra Moreno. Great time had by all!!

It is with a grateful thanks to you all, for the special care you all gave me during my illness. I’m unable to call each of you by name as I’d probably omit some of you and this would not do. The prayers, the cards, the calls, the visits, the chores done on my behalf are all a part of my thank you.

Sincerely, 

Lois Houghton
