Jim and I will continue to pray for you as you grieve. We’re trusting that God will give you strength to walk through each day, peace that passes all understanding to rest in, grace to face the unknowns… knowing He has got you firmly in His hands, sweet memories to carry you, and healthy tears when they are needed most. You are loved by many.

November 9, 2022 at 3:39 pmAdam and I went to school together from Wacousta Elementary to graduation, Grand Ledge High School. In 3rd grade, during recess, Adam was picking on me! ?! Well, Mr. Hill (the principal) heard what Adam had said. Mr. Hill proceeded to spank Adam!! I couldn’t believe my eyes! It may be 35 years later, but I still feel bad Adam got paddled! The ’90’s were crazy!
