To Travis, Tyler and the Smith family. We didn’t know your parents, but feel like we did through following their efforts to enact Shannon’s law. We hope our small contribution to your education fund will help ease the burden when you are ready for college. We are also certain both of you will achieve the success and happiness in life through the amazing examples of your wonderful parents. May these angels and Shannon now protect you. Mary and Rick
