<div>Words can’t express the heartfelt thanks from family, friends and even total strangers for the outpouring of support through this devastating time. On behalf of Colby, Alyson and Whinnie … thank you!
</div>
<div>The Colby Brown Family, close friends of mine, experienced a devastating loss yesterday when their home was destroyed by fire. Colby, his wife, their small child, and unborn child lost everything they owned in a matter of moments. The impact has been overwhelming, leaving them without a place to call home and without the basic necessities that most of us take for granted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As they face the challenge of starting over, their immediate needs include clothing, shoes, baby supplies, and other essentials. With a small child and another on the way, the urgency is even greater. The family is doing their best to stay strong, but the road ahead is long and difficult. Your support can help them find hope and stability as they rebuild their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support would mean everything to this family. There has already been a tremendous outpouring of support from the community, but so much more is needed. Please consider helping the Colby Brown Family as they recover from this tragedy and work toward a brighter future.

<div>Nearly two years ago, I faced a life-changing medical emergency. I was found with no pulse and had to be life-flighted to Greenville Hospital, where I spent a month in a coma, suffered six seizures, and endured an anoxic brain injury. I needed dialysis and went through so much that I haven’t been able to work since. It’s been a long, difficult road for our family as we’ve tried to adjust and keep going despite these challenges.

<div>Just a few days ago, our world was turned upside down again. My fiancé was hit head-on by a tractor trailer, breaking his hip and femur in two places. He can’t walk and won’t be able to work for at least six months, according to his doctors. Now, both of us are unable to work, and we’re facing a long stretch of uncertainty. We have two children, and we want to make sure they still feel loved and supported during this time. The stress of covering rent, food, and even basic things like toilet paper has become overwhelming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are reaching out for help because we have nowhere else to turn. Your support will help us cover living expenses, keep a roof over our heads, and cover necessary, living expenses, bills, medical bills, and normal day-to-day, expenses, and stuff for our kids like for their projects for school and if they ever need anything for school, etc.,Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading our story and considering a donation. Penelope will be so grateful once her daddy is back on his feet and able to work again, but until then, we are relying on the kindness of others. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, but we are putting our trust in God and in your hands, hoping it all works out.

Lisa Flythe Wheeler was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer that had spread to one of her ovaries.  Praise God, the cancer was removed surgically.  However, due to the type of cancer that was found she will require a fair amount of chemotherapy treatment and incur a large amount of medical expenses.  Due to her illness she will require a lot of time at home and away from work.  Her chemotherapy treatments will be in Greenville, NC.   Please donate in any way that your heart leads you to and continue to pray for Lisa and her family.  Thank you, Jeanie Watson Davis and Mitzi H.

Fixing the Navy’s finest equipment is no simple task, especially when it’s all done 40 feet beneath the surface of the ocean, with limited visibility, and every weather condition known to man. For the last 34 years John Muns has been fearlessly executing jobs that may seem near impossible for most people to complete. Over the years John has, seemingly effortlessly, lead dive teams to success with his wealth of knowledge and experience of underwater ship’s husbandry. However, it has finally come time for John to pass the torch to the next in line and enjoy his life as a retired, and accomplished, Deep Sea Diver. <br />	John’s career started out in September 1976 when he first joined the Navy as a Boatswain’s Mate. In December of that year he reported to his first duty station, the USS Hull (DD945), in the Philippine’s. He joined the ship for 2 different West Pacific tours before leaving for 2nd class dive school in 1978. From there John met with his ship, the USS Edenton (ATS-1), in Italy and deployed with his crew for 2 Mediterranean cruises. <br />	Shortly after John decided to leave the Navy and return to school at Tidewater Community College. After college he was hired at Norfolk Naval Shipyard and began his vast career as an underwater ship’s husbandry diver. His knowledge and love for the trade was quickly recognized as he began supervising dives in 1985 and leading teams to their ultimate success. For his recognition of being a great supervisor John was given the work leader position in September of 1989. Throughout the years, John worked on almost every team at the dive locker, and was able to train new divers into experts of their own craft. In January 2000 John made work supervisor and was in charge of running his own team. Since then he has been the go-to guy for every job and has been an integral part of almost every job that was, at one time, impossible to complete underwater. Success has been the only option throughout his career and his respected track record is there for the proof. <br /> 	Throughout the years John had also become a family man. John and Karrie met in March 1981 at a local recreational center and celebrated their wedding on September 11, 1982. John, and his wife, raised a wonderful family of their own.   Together, they had two children. The oldest, Corey, was brought into the world on January 30, 1983, and his sister Jessica decided to join them on April, 17 1985. As every family tends to grow, they were no exception to the rule. John and Karrie are also the grandparents of Avelynn who was born on December 12, 2005 and Amura, born March 30, 2015.<br />	Known at the dive locker as “The Godfather of Underwater Ship’s Husbandry”, the time has finally come for Johnny Muns to “Leave Bottom” and “Surface” as a retired Deep Sea Diver on June 1, 2016. Whether you know John from working with him on the dive side, or from the well-known and sought after “salvage training” that he offers his divers to blow off steam, there isn’t too much wrong you could say about the man who has been a pinnacle to bringing husbandry to where it stands today. John has passed on every grain of knowledge he could afford to give, and has left shoes that will be difficult to fill. But after a long, exciting, and very accomplished career the time has finally come for Johnny Muns to “hang up his watches”, and spend his time with his beloved family and reflect back on the great memories made over the decades.<br><img src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/11260921_1462748312.6887_funddescription.jpg" class="not-resizeable" width="100%"><br><img src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/11260921_1462748333.7362_funddescription.jpg" class="not-resizeable" width="100%"><br><img src="https://2dbdd5116ffa30a49aa8-c03f075f8191fb4e60e74b907071aee8.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/11260921_1462748355.6625_funddescription.jpg" class="not-resizeable" width="100%">
