YARD/BAKE SALE

Cancer benefit sale....

Saturday, April 25th
8AM-1PM
Garden Spot High School
669 East Main Street
New Holland, Pa

ALL PROCEEDS to be donated to 2 families this year

I have been wanting to give information on the recipients of the fundraiser this year-Craig Miller 40 years old was diagnosed with brain cancer on April 10, 2014. He had a glioma removed in March 2014. He has Two children Michaela 15, Gavin 10, and two stepchildren Kyle 14, Colin 16, wife's name is Kristin. Craig has been through radiation and chemo treatments. He is now on alternative treatments to keep the cancer away. He tries to remain positive and also tries to remain employed. Craig has been quoted saying 'I want to beat this for my kids, to show them to never give up'. I am told Craig has a passion for life, and reminds Jarid Parmer of Jimmy in many ways. I look forward to helping Craig and his family.

The second family that the fundraiser is going to sponsor: The gentleman's name is Bob Hinkle. He and his wife had very bad news last June when they discovered cancer in a kidney. In July he had the kidney removed, hoping to be rid of the cancer. In October during a follow up, they found cancer in his brain and bones. How sad to think you will be good after they remove the affected area only to learn that it has attacked other areas of your body. Bob and... his wife struggle to pay bills and keep their heads above water. Bob works as much as he can, disease permitting. I am very happy to be able to help them as well... And it is only because of the wonderful people that support our efforts in keeping Jimmy's caring and giving nature alive that we can do this!! So, from the depths of my heart- - - Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Three Years...

Yes, it's been 3 years today.... Sometimes seems like yesterday- other times like forever; but, I know he's always near. I feel him, I talk to him, I relish in the memories of him. I will not be locking myself in my room and crying the day away- I will be having his brother and sisters (hopefully his dad) here for family dinner and we will talk about the memories (he had special ones with each person) and we will reflect on the love of people Jimmy had. I will continue each day to make Jimmy proud, to give love and memories to each person that is in my life. And we, as a family, will remain strong and secure in one another and vow to continue helping others as a reflection on Jimmy
