When Abby and I met we were friends instantly. My favorite memory of Abby is when we drank our coffee in the furniture aisle in Target because the coffee shop was full. I am so happy to have her as a sister-in-law! She is a beautiful friend and Christ's light shines through her.
Isaiah Perkins

Isaiah is a great guy who has come into my life more recently. Although our friendship is young, it is deep. We have come to be great buddies who are able to talk about anything. It is amazing how bonding church, shooting, and fishing can be.

John Manzanares

My dad was likely the most Godly man that I have heard of. Everyone who has talked about him has shared the important role his faith played in his life. We know how proud you would be with our growing family. We will continue to hold you in our memories, dad.
Greg Vance
Father of the Bride
Dad gives the best advice and is the spiritual leader of our family. He is a great example of what it looks like to live a life for Jesus. Dad loves ice cream and eats it every night for dinner. He makes me laugh everyday.
