Last night, we attended a Benefit Dinner/Auction in Avery's honor. Over the last few years, we've had people offer to have some sort of fund raiser, but we've always declined. Recently though, my sister decided that she wanted to have one, and she received a lot of support from friends. They put together a spaghetti dinner and bake sale/auction. It was a lot of work, and we felt so humbled by the efforts made on the part of so many people. I tried to help as much as I could, but most of the work fell on others. There were well over 200 people who came out and were so kind in their giving. We've never experienced anything like this, and we were amazed at how Avery's story has touched so many lives. Once again we were reminded of all the special people God has placed in our lives.
Some of the most amazing friends a person could have!
What a crowd!

Again, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who was involved in last night.
God bless!
