We lost Linda Perry. I always looked forward to seeing her. It was always nice to be addressed by name and with a smile. I also knew I could count on her for an honest opinion. She was a bold and beautiful part of our county community and will be missed. Frank, we love you and you are in our prayers.

Please continue to pray for the family of David Boyd.
