    We are having a Celebration of Life for a fellow CCW Sister at our Church, who recently suffer a fatal Heart Attack. She knew many people (over 4,925 on FB alone), in our community from being a former School employee to clubs and other organizations, more than i even know, as well as being an SP4 in the US Army. Her Family has chosen fpr her Memorial a Patriotic Theme. I have decided to bake and bring Your Cupcakes to share with those who attend. Thank you! I know they will be well received!
