Stories of Hope

   Let me start this week’s story by giving a great big thank you to everyone who has helped with the events I have done with the Foundation. There are so many wonderful people out there who want to be part of the events and mainly want to help the people in our community as…

   Heaven received another very special angel. My oldest brother Curt passed away from complications due to multiple myeloma on Saturday September 21st, 2019. 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…

   Before I start with the main topic, is it okay if I go off on a small rant? Oh thank you! I knew you would be okay with that. I need to vent about having to attend business meetings in California. Last year, the hotel where the annual convention was being held didn’t have…

   First let’s start with naming the winner of the pop quiz last week. Congratulations to Patty Elzinga for correctly naming the content of the Make-A-Wish 2 story.

One of the best rewards I have received through the Foundation is the friendships and connections I have made. I have always believed you meet the people in your life when you are meant to meet them. This week’s story is about three very important friendships I have made.    The first friendship I would…
