Let us keep a continual prayer vigil for the parents, grandparents, spouses and all other family members, and the children who witnessed that horrific tragedy of the killing of 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on May 24. Let us continue to pray, as well, for all school, medical and city personnel who were connected to this horrible event.

Congratulations to my great-nephew, Devin Black of Mobile, Alabama who graduated from high school May 20! Devin is the son of my niece, Amy Black and the grandson of my brother, Joe Clifton “Cliff” Black. He has a 12-year-old sister, Janna Black. Devin made good grades all 12 years of school and was also the recipient of many awards. We are very proud of him.

Happy birthday to Mathew Gentry, June 12, Carl Jones, June 14, and my great-nephew, Dustyn Riveiro, June 10!

Congratulations and happy anniversary to Steve and Debbie Latta, June 9 and Jim and Redena King, June 10!
