TO THE EDITOR

It is so hard sometimes to put into words how you feel, but we want to say just how special the junior class and especially the prom committee is to Marie and our family. You all truly made it a night to remember. We want to say a very special thank you to Oliver Mongrue and Rachel Arnett for taking the time to make Marie's night so awesome.

There are so many people that have touched our lives that we are afraid to try and name them all for fear of leaving someone out. But we do want to say thank you to our family, friends, church families, teachers and this community for always standing by us and supporting us with your love and prayers the past 18 years. You all have a special place in our heart.

As you know, the day Marie was born she was not expected to live, but God had other plans and we have been so blessed. She has more friends than we could ever have. There have been times you wonder, "Why our child?" but God makes no mistakes. And to Mitch, you are a wonderful son and brother and we are so proud of you. God has blessed us with two precious children.

Again, thank you all and we love you.
