Koenig Lane Chris an Church (Disciples of Christ) 908 Old Koenig Lane Aus n, Texas 78756-1507 Dear KLCC Congregation, My entire family and myself would like to express our sincere gratitude to all of you for your outpouring of prayers, love, support, and most of all to Pastor Mark, and others too numerous to list who were always there to support us, and to help get us through the illness, and the loss of Dick Mackin, our dear husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, who will be forever loved, and greatly missed. It was a very hard, difficult time, but throughout it all, you all never let us forget that you were there for us. You all really made such a very difficult time easier to bear with all that you all have done. The many phone calls, cards, and visits, it all meant more to us than words can ever say. The dinner that was provided after the service was wonderful. We so appreciate all the ones who prepared the food, as well as the ones that set it all up, and served it. You all are truly the most loving, giving people anyone could ever hope to meet. God Bless You All, in all you do to show you that you really are Christians by your LOVE. Shirley Mackin & Family Thanks to all for your generous giving.
