My family and I would like to express our thanks to those individuals who donated money at our son Patrick’s lemonade stand on Winterberry Boulevard in Jackson Sunday, Sept. 16. Patrick insisted that he wanted to do a lemonade stand and collect money for the American Red Cross.
I was so afraid he would be disappointed if he only raised $5, that I did not encourage him. He insisted and I made him some lemonade and iced tea. Well, I certainly was surprised six hours later when he counted his money and had $44. He is just delighted with his contribution in this terrible tragedy.
Thank you again to our neighbors, friends, and the other individuals who did not know our family, yet contributed anyway. America truly is a wonderful place to be.
