Back in May Michael's wonderful aunt Corliss lost her long battle with cancer. She is the mother of Derrick who was our best man at our wedding and has another son and a daughter. Kyle (son #2) told me about this article and I thought it was too cool not to share. Especially since several of my readers either followed Corliss's story and/or knew her personally.
She was and continues to be an inspiration to so many people that were fortunate enough to know her. Throughout her battle, I never saw her without a smile. What a woman!
This is an article about Kasey (Michaels Cousin) and some really incredible stuff she is doing. She is in her freshman year of college right now but doing some really great work in the Lubbock community. I'm quite proud of her that at the age of 18 she is going this extra mile and I know her mother is proudly smiling down at her.

Nichole, what a sweet tribute! This article brought tears to our eyes. God bless Kasey and Kyle for their work in honor and memory of their mom. She would be very proud of them. Thank you for sharing the article from the Avalanche Journal. Red Raiders are just the BEST, aren't they? Guns up, Red Raiders! Hugs to you,
Mom and Sharon
