Dear Family & Friends,
This is a rather long email and I pray that you will read it in its entirety. I am so thankful for all of you. Words cannot express my sincere appreciation for all that you've done and continue to do. To God be the Glory!!
I wanted to take time out to recap this year's reunion and to thank everybody for just pitching in wherever it was needed.
I thank most of all Tim and Herb for allowing us to have this 4th reunion on their beautiful property. It was first class all the way! If that Bounce House could talk!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everybody that pitched in and helped wherever there was a need.
-
Thank our "Grill Master" Kenny Whitlock. You're the best! Everything was finger lickin' good.
-
Angelette, that Macaroni & Cheese, Baked Beans and Salads were awesome.
-
All of the ones that helped cleaned the chicken and Shrimp and whatever else needed cleaning, thank you.

Kaylin, whatever we needed you were right there . All those dishes- Whew!
-
The set up crew, the servers, the clean up crew, thank you.

To everybody men, women and children that helped. It was just amazing to see how everyone worked together.
