A Final Tribute
I know last week I said this week’s story was going to be about the Pumpkin Carving Contest, but I decided it needed to be about some events at our Mom’s funeral last weekend. Since I am the quarterback of writing these stories, I am officially calling an audible. Let’s start with my P.S. […]

A Very Special Angel
This week’s story has been a very hard one for me to write. I have started many times, only to have to stop because the emotions I am feeling are too overwhelming. After spending almost 96 years of doing the work our Heavenly Father asked her to do down here, (With absolute compassion and […]

She has won a stylish Shannon Wilker Foundation stocking cap. I hope everyone had a fun and safe Labor Day weekend and you made some very special […]
Make-A-Wish 3
Before I start this week’s story there will be a pop quiz. Who can remember what the Make-A-Wish 2 story posted on May 18 was about? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? If you’re too young to understand the Bueller reference, ask your parents or grandparents. That movie was a classic! The first person to post […]
Idaho Falls Chukars 2019
I would like to start by thanking Kevin Greene and the entire Chukars staff for letting me have a booth for my Foundation at the games. They have always been so helpful and supportive. I also need to thank Kristy and Sydney Young for the beautiful bracelets and earrings they make for the Foundation. […]
