"We would like to express sincere gratitude to our Coastal Carolina friends for the flowers, cards, prayers and many acts of kindness extended to our family during the recent loss of our daughter, Jennifer. Coastal Carolina was always very special to Jennifer. She was proud of her education as a Coastal graduate and received such joy from teaching at the child development center, as well as her own three children, using the skills she learned here. Your thoughtfulness and compassion have meant so much to us and has truly helped our family get through this most difficult time. Please keep us in your prayers."

Sincerely, Nancy Burton and family

To All Our Friends at Coastal:

"Words cannot express my gratitude for your many kind words and expressions of sympathy in the loss of my best friend, partner, and spouse, Tommy. Tom~y loved Coastal almost as much as I do, and he would have been pleased to know of how the Coastal "family" rallied round me in my time of need. Thank you for being there."
