Memorial Day

Memorial Day. A time to remember those who lost their lives so that we may have freedom. A time to reflect on our country and what it stands for. A time to pay respects and honor by adorning stones with those beautiful colors of red, white, and blue. Memorial Day is a very special day. Praying today for all of the families who have lost loved ones so that I may have freedom..so that my husband and two precious boys may have freedom...so that America may have freedom.

In honor of those who have served or are still serving, our family is making this cake to show our appreciation for you and for our country. Thank you!!
