One Week To Go!

Just one week until the big event! If you didn't make reservations don't worry - everyone is welcome.

Keep Believing Celebration

Please come help us celebrate the extraordinary life of an extraordinary man. And a celebration it will be, with great food (BBQ pork steaks, baked beans, roasted potatoes, chicken fettuccine, pasta house salad and brownies), great drinks (kegs, specialty beers, and setups), great music (Brian's playlist) and a night of cards and hanging out with friends and family - just as Brian loved.

There will be a silent auction, with some of the items up for bid including a Boat/Dinner Trip for 6, a Week's Lodging at Lake of the Ozarks, Diamond Box Cardinal Tickets, Mizzou Football Tickets, and an Autographed Ramone's CD.

Some Posts About Brian and Angie

Brian lost his battle with cancer on March 17 at 12:45 am. Many of Angie's blog friends are posting and directing people to the Keep Believing Fund blog. I thought some of you might be interested in reading these posts, so I'll try to put them here as I find them. The first one is Angie's post.
