Our lives, like many things, move from one branch to another. After being two young people who connected in high school, we flew from our parents’ nests. Dolores stayed and flew among the lush, vibrant woods of the Pacific Northwest, while John took flight beyond those woods to lands of dragons. Yet we were both missing a branch to land on and call home. Years later, an errant message led us back to one another. Now we have made our own branch to land on—a branch with a cross at its center. A place filled with family, friends, music, games, movies, and a lot of love. This is what we celebrate on June 27, 2026. For those who are able to join us, we look forward to sharing our branch for a wonderful afternoon. We love you all so much! ~ John & Dolores
