Better late than never!

Dear Mrs. McCormick:

 

I was a recipient of your family's memorial grant in the summer of 2012.  This allowed me to return to school and put me on a path to graduate in December of 2013.  I'm writing you to express my gratitude and appreciation.  Your family's fund allowed me to overcome some of the issues I was going through at that time to help me achieve my goals.  Thank you!

 

Sincerely,

Jobu

A few days ago I stopped by Brian’s grave.  I saw a Heineken “tall boy” beer can on his grave and laughed out loud.  

 

I immediately thought: “Cool, I like Heineken.”  Then, I immediately thought of “Major League.”  This was one of Brian’s favorite movies and we constantly talked about “Jobu.”

 

One of the best lines in the movie stated “It is very bad to drink Jobu’s rum. Very bad.”

 

I thought of Brian and Jobu.  I did not take the beer.  In fact, I thought Brian would want it poured out on his grave “for his hommies.”  I did as Brian wished and left the can.

 

Thanks to the person (probably a Gunnoe) who honored Brian, Jobu and made me laugh out loud. 

Introducing Abigail Grace Gunnoe!

Congratulations to Justin and Jenny Gunnoe on the 5/3/14 birth of their daughter.

 

Abigail Grace Gunnoe was seven pounds, three ounces and 19.5 inches.  LOTS of brown hair as you can see.

 

Justin and Jenny will make great parents.  Everyone is glad she looks like Jenny!

 

For one day, all is right with the world.
