You can go out in the world as you have already done on your own and be more successful. You already proved that you Deaf-initely can! We wish all the good things that life can bring you. Have a healthy life! Always remember that you will forever be a precious gift to us from God. We love you and we are very proud of you. Love you with all of our hearts forever, Mom, Dad and Blaise

I remember the day you were born. So excited was I. My “1st” grandchild. Beautiful to behold. I watched as you grew and I learned when you learned. You have been such a joy to me. May God bless all the work of your hands as you journey into adulthood. Continue exploring, learning and enjoying life. I love you, Granny Bea
Good Luck Graduate!
Thank you Phillip for: Being there for my recitals; Being my best friend; Being my company Friday nights; but most of all--Being our son! Congratulations Phillip! Love, Dad, Mom, Frankie, Becca, Grandpa, and Abby, too!

When we graduate We will have goosebumps And finally Tears in our eyes We will move our tassels and Yell, ”Iʼm so done with high school!” We donʼt want to leave friends behind Crying Friends are crying Families are crying So many tears in our eyes We didnʼt want this to end We will visit you someday This year was fast Everyone is crying Because we will leave Donʼt worry It is a small world We might see each other again We are crying because we miss you already By Jojo Rae Oberholtzer and Class of 2008
