    On June 7th, in memory of Jordan on his 6th birthday, we carried a meal to the Ronald McDonald House. Also through the foundation we had a meal catered at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in the Family Room. There we fed 200 people. Everyone was so appreciative.

Please make it a daily goal to pray for children who are sick and suffering and those who love them and stay by their sides.
