A large part of the community came out to line the streets as the family left the church on their way to Luckenbach. It is times like these when living in a small town is priceless. Mike and I would not trade raising our family here.

Fallen Soldier
Sadly, we had another soldier from our community fall in Afghanistan. His name was Chris Staats. He was in the National Guard and was helping Afghani farmers. Chris was 32 and recently married. He grew up attending the church where our kids go to school. The cub scouts had the opportunity to serve as the Honor Guard during the procession. The whole school lined up across the street holding flags. The funeral was a breath-taking, incredibly sad, but honorable experience.
