Relay for Life

As you all know Jolene sent around the thing to participate in donations in the Relay for Life with Cancer along time back when she was with Redstone. I thank all those that donated to that here or elsewhere. Jolene has a new job at the Methadone clinic she has to be there by 5:00 am. Here is her message to us. This is a downer but also and uplifter and I pray the family just accepts what is said. The Southers Jolene mentioned lost thier son at a young age. They are members of our church. So are the Toneys and David is a Cursillo group Brother.Jolene to you I say I could not be prouder of you. Your brother was walking by your side he was there the whole way as was Matthew Southers. It is where you drew your strength from that and from your mother who is very strong woman. You could have easily backed out and everyone would have understood. But I am also proud of the Brinkleys for making that walk what courage and LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE all of you showed. It reminds me of Jesus he fell three times but he got back up so did all of you that made that walk last night. The guy in the dress we do not claim.


Well as you know I went to the relay for life. After being up since 3am this morning.....I kept going lol but this walk was for Jr. Anyways I probably walked around like 20 times and then hugged the St. Paul's crew. Mr. and Mrs. Toney and Mr. and Mrs. Ruth Southers purchased a luminere in memory of Jr. I just thought I should let you know anyways as they were lighting them it was 10:00 and I was pooped...so I took the luminere home the bags were colored by elementary school children and it is cute and it is for you mama and daddy I will bring it by sometime this weekend........I told Mr. Toney that if the other bag does not burn up to grab it or if the Souther's get it then don't worry about it. I had a good time and cried my whole way home not that it was that that far but it seemed like it. The youngest survivor was 2yr old girl and that was really something I cried about that. I do not know what cancer she had but........it was sad. I yelled at Jr today but then I yelled at God too why couldn't he be here to walk as a survivor...it just was his time I know but its hard to accept.I love you goodnight
