[email protected]. Thank You...Words fail to express my feelings in the way the community of believers at Sun City Naz responded to my journey of grief. You responded by cards, calls, compassion, offers of assistance, making Chris’ funeral touching by staff, support staff, assisting with music, ice cream & cake, and your attendance. I’m sure I forgot others helping BUT, when you put it all together...it all added up to LOVE. That is what makes SC Naz a great church. —Humbly, George Bigley
