Our family, along with several friends and neighbors gathered together at New Mansion Church last Saturday morning for a memorial service for my father, Willie Sloan. I could feel all the support, love and prayers that poured out upon our family. It was a very special time honoring one of the most special men I have ever known, and I am proud to say he was my dad.
Sunday after church, our family gathered at Beaver Creek boat dock area to spend the day visiting, eating, swimming, water skiing and just being together a little longer. We left a little while before everyone else, when you have a one year old running around trying to dig in the mud and sand, get to the water, and generally get into anything and everything, it is tiring, so Bob and I, Julie and Garrett came home and left David and Scott to ski a while.
I had a note from Sharon Grider last week and she mentioned she had a new grandbaby, and named after her, in a way. Sharona Leigh was born July 6, and weighed 8 lb and 7 oz. and Sharon said she is beautiful and has lots of dark hair. Congratulations to the whole family.
The Bradleyville Class of 2002 will be having their class reunion Saturday, July 28 at new Mansion Church. They wanted to have it at the school but the gym floor is being refinished at that time so it wasn’t possible.
Lois Lux made a trip last weekend to take her grandsons home. She met their parents halfway between here and Texas. Riley and Tipton spent at least a couple of weeks with Grandma Lois and attended Vacation Bible School with their cousins, Gavin and Levi Lux and I know the family spent a day or more at Silver Dollar City, making those great memories.
Lisa Lux is accompanying her grandmother to Chicago this week to attend services for her grandma’s brother-in-law. Our sympathy goes out to the family in this time of loss.
