In honor of William B. Solomon







The boys Beta Club at school had a really neat ceremony last night. They did a America Cancer Society Walk. All the Beta Club members donated money to the America Cancer Society in honor of someone they lost to cancer...Then they decorated bags to honor their family and friends. Also we raised money for a little 5 year old named Andy Dunn with cancer. It was a really special occasion. When the candles were lit and lights were off...there was such a sweet spirit. I was so glad the rain didn't stop the walk and they brought it indoors. Lots of people came out to remember those who have passed on that fought the battle of cancer. We celebrated the kids grandpa's life and remembered lots of really neat things about him. Even though the children and I did not get the privilege to know him personally we feel like he is very much a part of our lives. We are so grateful for the legacy he left with our family. I am so glad for eternal families and grateful to know that one day we will all be together again.

I love this. Such a neat way to remember their grandpa.

I love that our kids get to participate in such neat activities and help people in the community too.
