In
Memory of Charles Toombs
This evening my Dad, Charles Toombs passed away after a long
battle with congestive heart failure. He was blessed to have been in the
comfort of his own home under the care of my Mom and my sister. He was 72 years
old, was married to my Mom for 50 years, and a retiree of Anheuser Busch. He
was a life long fan of the Cardinals and the Texas Longhorns. He was also a
Navy vet and got to go home on December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day. Anchors Away
Dad, and Hook 'Em Horns!

Update
Reunion Updates
Can you believe there's little more than a year left, before our next reunion? Well, as we all know, time goes by fast :) . Be sure to get your rooms reserved at the lodge as soon as you can - time can really get away from us, and before you know it, next summer will be here! Rooms can go quickly, and it truly makes a difference staying there - it's convenient, and is more conducive to impromptu gatherings.
Also, keep an eye out for more frequent updates from us - now that we're approaching the year countdown mark, we'll be finalizing details and keeping everyone posted on any changes.
In the next month or so, we'll be sending out a survey, which will give everyone an opportunity to provide some input on their favorite activities, suggestions for new items, etc. Our family reunions are for ALL of us, and we want to make sure everyone enjoys the event!
As always, take care, and let us know if you have any questions!
--Mishell and Heather
