Thoughts from Ronda…
Hello All,
Wow, what a busy time of year! There is so much going on and I hope that you are enjoying all the graduations and celebrations.
First, I would like to Thank everyone for their cards and words of encouragement in the loss of my mother-in-law. She was a wonderful lady, and I could not have asked for a better mother-in-law. I feel so much love from this community and I am so appreciative to have each one of you in my life.
Congratulations to the Blue Winners at the KEHA State Convention: See photos enclosed in this Newsletter.
