Richard & Misti's Blog

This past month has sure been a difficult one for our family.  My father was diagnosed with a brain tumor of the 4th of July weekend and although part of it was operable, part of it wasn’t.  And it’s cancerous to boot.  Dad has chosen not to have chemo and radiation.  His remaining time with [...]
