She and Don were an example to Father John and I as we began our relationship. Their love for eachother was evident to everyone they met. Father John painted their house the summer he moved to my town when we began dating and spent a lot of time with LuAnn. She and Don made it possible for him to live nearby and now we are married and have two sons! I often think of LuAnn when I'm frustrated and try to be patient and hopeful as she was. This scholarship is a beautiful way to honor her. May her memory be eternal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
