OUR CARING COMMUNITY
We celebrate with Allison Huseman and Steven Mickey, son of Barbara and Bruce Mickey, who were married in San Antonio on March 25, and with Miranda and Russ Kirby on the birth of their son, Jordan, on Apr. 7.
Our thoughts are with Grover and Margaret Gillett as Grover enters hospice care, and with Tom Crow, who is also entering hospice.
We hold close those who mourn: Janine Smart and her mother Virginia Stull as they grieve the unexpected death of aunt and sister Ida Tidwell, and Erik and Erin Clark and family as they grieve the loss of Erik's mother Lesley, who died on Monday.
