We would like to sincerely thank E. Dene Moore Care Center for the great care of our mother, Maude Dombrowski, and Emmanuel Lutheran Church for their great support during her passing. Also to the women of Emmanuel who helped so much. Thanks to all who sent cards and prayers. The Dombrowski familyRoaring Fork Valley

On behalf of the Ulane family, I wanted to thank the Burning Mountains Fire Protection District firefighters for taking time last week to bring Santa Claus around Castle Valley Ranch on their ladder truck. As all the trucks playing the music came up our street with every light on, our 3-year-old daughter ran excitedly to our front door and shouted “Santa’s outside our house!”Their trip with Santa through our neighborhood absolutely made our daughter’s Christmas, and we very much appreciate the time fire district personnel took away from their families and jobs to make this special event happen. We appreciate this effort, and for all the fire district does to keep us safe throughout the year.Thanks!David UlaneNew Castle
