We are so proud of who you are! And, we are so excited for the wonderful future God has in store for you. "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12 We will always be your biggest supporters!
We love you, FOREVER! Mom, Dad, and Mackenzie

Congratulations to our grandson, Reese Brown! 2021 Graduate of Punxsutawney Area High School
Big! R.D.
“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.” ~ Mother Teresa
