MusickFest Wrap-Up (It's Not Over!)

Hey Y'all, Kimberly Morgan sent this letter on behalf of the folks behind MusickFest:

Thank you to all that helped the music portion of MusickFest such a success. We raised over $12,000 in cash and checks and still have to include the credit card receipts. We still have the Art auction on the 18th as well. So yeee haww ya'll! What a difference this will make for Adam and Wendy.

Wendy is progressing well. I've been visiting several times a day bringing Adam his meals. He has not left her side. What a great husband. Wendy is still in A LOT of pain and has not had any food or water in over 3 days now. They cannot let her drink or eat, for a couple of reasons... but they know what they are doing and she is getting a little better every day. Yesterday, she was able to hold short conversations and was making a lot more sense than the days prior.

This whole experience has meant so much to me. I think it has made our community a stronger, sweeter place to be. It's nice to know exactly how much we care about each other.

THANK YOU
Kimberly Morgan
