As some of you may know by now, my dear friend Maddie Allen lost her Dad and her Aunt unexpectedly this week. For anyone who has ever lost a loved one you know it can be expensive to honor their lives/hold services. Please consider donating and helping Maddie with her father’s funeral expenses.

“Dad, Dennis Draves, I love you so much. I only wish I would have let you in more. We needed more time to heal, to grow, to let each other in. But I got you for 5 months before you left me again, this time forever. I’m so glad you stayed with us. A true man’s man. Always trying to fix something. Always a call away. You tried so hard to be a good dad & I saw that in every breakfast you cooked for us and every good morning text you sent. I dreaded writing this because that meant it was real, that you’re gone. I love you forever, dad.” -Maddie
