As a way of saying thank you for everyone who dedicated a hymnal, I wanted to list them here. Each dedicated hymnal has a certificate in the inside cover stating who dedicated it and in whom’s honor or memory. What a great way to remember someone, people will be looking at these hymnals for several years. This should be a complete list, so you may just want to check and make sure that yours is listed here. The person who gave the dedication is in bold with their dedication listed below.
I want to thank Joanne Hilton for leading the project. She wrote the solicitation letters, collected the money, designed and printed the certificates, and compiled this list. Maria Valbuena took the time to place each certificate in a hymnal. Thank you, ladies.
