It's On!
And… they’re off! Another school year has officially begun.

Heaven Awaits…
44 years of marriage. “Till death do us part.” Thank you for giving me such a beautiful example of what love looks like, mom and dad. The doctor shared with us that she believes dad will be at peace by the end of the week. Only God knows the day, and the hour, but we are … Read more
