Happy 4th! R.I.P. B.C.!

by Brandy

I wanted to tell everyone to have a happy and safe 4th!

I plan to spend today with my family, as well as remember a friend, Ben Cooksey, who passed last year.

Suicide is one of those things that just sticks with you. My heart goes out to his family today! Remember all the good stuff! B.C. had a lot of friends who miss him dearly! dscf1609

Yesterday my friend Misti, all of my children and myself joined with the Cooksey Family and walked in the Out of the Darkness Walk. It was a 5K walk for Suicide prevention and awareness. Our team raised $1700 to help fund this great organization. Below are some pictures I managed to take while walking Saturday. It was a great time for a great cause and I am so happy we could be there!

Remembering a Friend, helping a family

by Brandy

Taking this time to remember a friend and to reflect on life. Ben Cooksey was a very talented person. He was a musician, an artist, a friend, a son, a brother, and an uncle. I am sure he has made an impact in many peoples lifes over the years, and will be missed by many. I am sharing some of my photos here of him and hope that people will take the time to pray for his family in this horrible time. To help his family with expenses we are selling HIT & RUN cds. If you can, please order one below or visit HIT & RUN. I think the first picture is very suiting. Looking back in the rear view mirror. Looking back like I know all of you are doing trying to figure out what could have been done or said to change this all. Instead look back and think of all the good times, that is how I am sure he would want it.
