Say Boo to Cancer 2019

   I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. I will start by saying this has always been one of my favorite holidays. It started with getting to go to houses and get free candy. When we got to the age of being too cool to trick or treat, we graduated to throwing water balloons and […]

I would like to share my memories of him in this week’s story.    If I am being honest, my earliest memories of my big brother would be how hard he […]

Thunder Ridge Assembly
