Sharon, It’s me, Gregg, from California and I met you at the past memorial weekend. I was a volunteer too. I heard the survivor conference was real good and they do plan on having one next year too. Hope all is well and I will see you in October.

Fallen firefighter families!! You’re the Best!! Joan
This year I turn 57, the same age my Uncle Lee passed 18 years ago. To this day it seems surreal. I am so proud of his loving wife, and my Aunt Sharon, for her selfless effort with the Fallen Firefighters for keeping his, and others, memories alive. All are missed, not just as family members, but for dedication to serving others.
