Through the generosity of Cleveland families, including the Gund Family, have generously donated money for the betterment of the city. Foundations work together to support institutions to make Cleveland a more vibrant and lively city; they give money to the art and cultural of the city but also the school and hospitals. The Families and Foundations don’t give money to the city because they have to, they give money because they believed that the City of Cleveland is a part of their universe of obligations. The citizens in Cleveland are responsible for one another and with that mentality we work together towards the improvement of the city we live

To my amazing and talented nephew’s and niece; Blake, Brandon, Braydon and Brooke. First, I would like to let you all know how much I miss you and how proud I am of all of you. You have been growing so fast and unfortunately for me, I have to experience this miracle through pictures. I have been gone too long, the last birthday I was able to celebrate with you was Blake’s, in Visalia. Please believe me when I say, I think of all of you every day, no matter what I’m doing or where I am.

My father’s love for his family and his bravery to protect it, made him our hero and there are memorials, which continually remind his family of the sacrifices made by him.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that we embrace the family with the love, strength and comfort of God. We cannot replace Marilyn C. Jackson, but will work to demonstrate her

Christina let us appreciate, thank, and praise the lord for his kind care over our relatives. Who have gone forth, and sacrificed their lives, for the conservation of our country. I cannot believe the murderous people that have rose up to destroy the best government in this world.

I can’t even describe how much I miss you, but I will see you sooner than later. Love, Gage” That letter gave me hope that they would return home safe and healthy with no harm done. Later that day I went outside and played hopscotch with my friends Sally, Susan, and Kim. They asked me how I’m doing with my brother and dad being gone, and I told them that I believed they will come home safely.

I am writing to thank you for the honor of caring for your family member for many years; it has been a great pleasure in having the responsibility of your love one to care for.

From a distance, all you could here was the subtle noise of people screaming. The wind was blowing slightly and there was a light sprinkle in the air, but the weather wasn’t stopping these people. As the hollering slowly quiets down, a group of five or six friends walk out of the arena laughing and talking amongst each other, having the time of their lives at their favorite singers concert.
