Ethan Schroeder You will never know how proud I am of you and the man you have become. The day you were born, you changed my life forever. I will always be your biggest fan and your loudest cheerleader (remember the Grand Slam?). Never ever doubt yourself, you can do anything, you have proven it time and time again. This day marks the first day of the rest of your life. Live it well, be kind, and change the world! Love You Always, Mom 30 | GRADUATION 2020
You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength Phil 4:13.

Joria Downing
Your senior year wasn’t supposed to be like this. Faith in Jesus means trusting Him through unmet dreams and expectation, drawing near to Him when your heart is hurting. He has you in the palm of His hands and there is no better place to be! We are SO proud of the woman you have become. Keep living your life for Christ! Proverbs 3:5-6. We love you & are honored to be your parents,
Mom & Dad
