Our son beat out the entire Knox county 5th grade for this essay contest. I know you´re so proud of him. He is you Nate! May your memory continue to live on through our kids forever and ever. I will never be ok with this. God was ready but my heart was not. As you and I often quoted All things work together for good for those who love God to those who are called according to his purpose.
