Honoring our fallen heroes


TAPS
Day is done, gone the sun,
from the lakes, from the hills,
from the sky,
all is well, safely rest,
God is near.

Fading light, dims the sight,
and a star gems the sky
gleaming bright,
from afar, drawing, near,
falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
neath the sun, neath the stars
neath the sky,
as we go, this, we, know,
God is near.

God bless our troops and all our veterans!

Happy Anniversary



A very happy 34th to Ken and Bernie on their wedding anniversary. What a great weekend you have to celebrate your special day!

Our blessings


Dear Lord, relying on your promises to us, we turn to you in trust that our mother is with you and that she is enjoying your loving embrace. You alone know how she loved the best she could and how she faithfully endured the struggles that she faced. You know the graces you gave her and you know the grace she was for us and for so many. For all the ways she truly loved the way you loved her, please reward her, Lord. May she enjoy the communion of all her family and friends who are with you.
Lord, we know our mother still loves us who are still here on earth. We ask you that you might listen to her fervent prayers for us. Help us to grow into a new and deeper relationship with our mother now, as we long for the day when we will meet in your embrace - freed from all that might have hindered our relationship on earth, knowing and understanding everything we did not know or understand on this earth.
We ask you this with faith in the resurrection, trusting our mother's love, and desiring that she knows our love for her. Amen
Happy Mother's Day, to all!

Joey's Senior Recital




Hi everyone,


Roy sent a few photos of their attending Joey's senior recital in Reno, NV.


Roy said it was "really great" with Joey getting" so mature and self confident and having many friends in the music business." That's Joey's girlfriend with him and Debbie. Can't wait to hear some of the songs Joey wrote and played.

Thanks for keeping us informed, Roy!
