Watch and listen.
These boys want to remember their friend and teammate, Jake Gibbs.
They want to build two concrete memorial benches on the soccer field shared by Fairview’s Middle and High School teams. The project is pending school system approval, and a budget from the supervising contractor.
They will need money for materials.
Please help.

Thank you.
Extraordinary ... this whole thing is extraordinary - life, death, the kids, the photos, you and your words ...
ReplyDelete... I'm thankful to know you, and through you, the kids, and death, and life a bit more fully ... love, Maralyn
Christy I was extremely moved by the photos and your narrative. Being a mother myself I understand how difficult it can be to help our children work through and understand things we often don't understand ourselves. While I've never had this experience I am extremely empathetic having three child athletes in my home. Sometimes we are never fully prepared for the hand life deals us but with love and tender care we are able to weather the storm. Thanks so much for sharing your story and for the strength and courage to put this piece together.
