Last week left us heartbroken and reeling with the loss of our dear friend, Melanie Dawn (Retzlaff) Bourne. So many people have asked how they can help the Bourne family that has endured so much loss in the last year. We all know that Mel would be the very first to offer help in any way that she could. She was known for her ability to lift others up by providing a good laugh and a shoulder to cry on. She also spent countless hours fundraising for our local (C.A.R.E.) group and always volunteered her time whenever there was a need. Let's honor her memory by giving to her amazing husband and children that she loved so much.

Besides prayer, there are two big ways to help. You can donate through this Go Fund Me page or donate to the Memorial set up for Ethan's college expenses by sending a check to Security First Bank, c/o Ethan Bourne College Fund, PO Box 550, Rushville, NE 69360.

Thank you all for your support. RIP Slim!
