Hi Hoops,
You can take my sister’s family off too. They’re slowly moving on from a hard time.

I don’t think I told his story at the time. John was an Iraq vet from the Wisconsin National Guard. He & his father had been deployed for a year with a combat engineer battalion. They built bridges, schools, and all the good things we did over there. They took no casualties in the unit while there. So they get home & we’re have a big welcome home party but he didn’t make it. He’d been in a car accident and was left paralyzed from the neck down. That was a couple of years back; then in May, complications caught up with him and he passed away suddenly. The prayers of everyone here were helpful to all concerned.

Thank you.
