with a few more banquets still to attend =)

With STATE Track & Field competition the Saturday before Graduation, we are opting to go Cheer for our boy instead of hosting a Graduation Party. With his adult life about to officially begin though, we would like to help him acquire some "adulting" essentials.

So, in lieu of traditional graduation gifts, we are asking instead for monetary donations.

Noah has accepted a Scholarship from Columbia College in Missouri for Track. College is about 3.5 hours away from home so there will be some miles put on the road. He is currently in the market for a vehicle & a laptop. He will also use his employee discount at Under Armor this summer to purchase new clothing for his new college life, etc.

Feel free to donate here or if you prefer to use the good ole post office, you can reach him at 644 Skyview Drive, Branson, MO 65616.

And sometimes the best gifts are simply words of encouragement and advice.

It is a bittersweet time for Mom right now, I have so enjoyed watching him mature and grow into the wonderful man he is becoming. I will miss watching him out on the football field or on the basketball court, but I will always relish in the times we had before and I look forward to his very bright future.

His family in Heaven I know is as proud as can be. He has turned out to be all they would of ever wanted in a grandchild and more.

CONGRATULATIONS Noah

Class of 2024
