LETTERS: THE GIFT OF GIVING WAS PRACTICED WELL

To the editor:

This letter is to publicly acknowledge the tremendous gifts that our residents at Maple Crest Manor and Frederick Street Manor received from Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Cape Girardeau.

We feel that no one can really appreciate the gift of giving until he witnesses the delight and surprise on each of our residents' faces when they see what people have been kind enough to buy for them. Each present is individually wrapped to perfection, and the residents know someone took special time and interest in getting just the right gift for each of them.

We also received gifts from a small Baptist church in Illinois, Sisters in Service in Cape Girardeau, a Cub Scout troop in Scott City and anonymous gifts as well. Each and every present was gratefully received, and we wish to extend our thanks to each and every one of you. You know who you are.
