Just checkin' in....

Its been a while since I posted on here so here goes.....I started EMT class last month...I LOVE IT!!!! The class has proven to be all that I expected, a little challanging sometimes, but that is what I need right now! I am doing this for several reasons, the most important one is to payback some good deeds that have been bestowed upon me thru the past several years. I would not be able to function this very day without the help and support of my LFD family. Also, I needed to prove to myself that I can do things that are outside of the box from where my life has taken me over the past 40 years. Yeah believe it or not I AM 40!!


On October 13 our family and friends participated in the Light the Night walk...our TEAM GUMP was the 1 fundraisers for the Rehoboth Walk. This is amazing, we raised over $7,100 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We are the #1 fundraising team for the Rehoboth Walk. Next year we are setting our goal for at least $ 10,000 and hope to bust that all to pieces!!! My my, Gerry would be so proud of all the people that contributed to this event, it has brought so many of us together for a united cause..we are an awesome TEAM.


Nightmare Productions had a banner year with the Nightmare at Twilley Center this year. I didn't get down to Salisbury to play as much as I wanted, but they had a good time without me, again!!!! A portion of the proceeds will go to the Salisbury YMCA and the American Cancer Society! The haunt this year was awesome, and it had Gerry's little touches all over the place. The SCREAM TEAM will be back next year, ready to scare the yell out of you!!!It was overwhelming to watch the "kids" take on some big roles at the Haunted House this year. We have watched them grow up, from the days when they were 5 or 6 falling asleep in a make shift coffin, or in a dirt pit. Some might call that child neglect, we call it bonding time and it has produced some amazing young adults. Watching Dale carry on at the HH was most pleasing. He has become everything I would ever dream of....he has taught me alot!!!!! What a brat though, he still picks on me everyday, I don't know where he gets that from...


The holiday season is coming up fast, this year will be different for our family; however, we are thankful that we have each other to lean on and look forward to remembering Gerry through it all!!!!Well thats all for now.....ttfn!!!!Deanna
