I AM a Survivor

It's that time of year when the Relay For Life, the American Cancer Society's main fund raising tool, gears up for a weekend of fun.  Aly is team captain of two teams from Highland.  I know many of us have been touched personally by someone close to us who have fought this valiant fight.  Every year this event happens, I realize how blessed I am to be a survivor.  Our family has great heros we can look to as they fought courageously, but lost the mortal fight.  It is them we honor and love and miss.
This year, it is being held at Gilbert High School the weekend of April 16th and 17th.  Ironic that this is also the weekend of Jr./Sr. Prom.  Aly will be one tired girl!

If you want, go to this link for Aly's efforts at this time.  Just click on the pretty picture!  You can make a donation or dedicate a luminaria in honor of someone you love!





We sure miss Grandpa!!


Others, I would like to mention have been close family members or wonderful friends!  Some have passed to the other side and some are still fighting.  They are in our daily prayers!!
