🌸 Thank You, Truly 🌸🌧️

I’m honored to receive the BCBS Angel Award, but what moved me most were the calls, texts, likes, hearts, and messages from this incredible community. Your support means everything.

Thank you for showing up, for lifting our mission, and for helping keep Owen’s memory alive through love and action.

Our community is extraordinary — and together, we’ll continue the work that carries his light forward. 💛🌼

🌸 Honored & Grateful 🌸🌧️

I’m deeply humbled to be named a BCBS Angel Honoree, but I want to be clear — this recognition isn’t about me. It belongs to Rain Will Bring Flowers Foundation, to every partner who stands with us, and to every supporter who believes in creating a world where hope has room to grow.

Our mission is carried forward by volunteers, donors, families, advocates, and community leaders who show up with compassion and courage. This honor reflects their work, their heart, and their commitment to youth su***de prevention.

Thank you to BCBS for shining a light on the importance of connection, healing, and support. And thank you to everyone who helps Rain Will Bring Flowers bloom brighter each year. 💛🌼

Together, we make hope possible.

Deep gratitude to Cheri Morial Ausberry, Verge Ausberry & Shelly Mullenix for including Lisa Tabor as a panelist at the ladies luncheon on mental health.
