Good Morning Division 1!
Today I will be unavailable to connect with you. Sadly, I am attending my grandfather’s funeral, who passed away in April. We had to wait until now to have a small family gathering. We are relieved to be able to celebrate his life, together in person, even if still physically distanced. This pandemic has impacted us all, good, bad, and sad. And, I have a great deal of hope for our future and know that this will pass. Chin up!
Have a fabulous weekend.
