Today, we're remembering Kourtney Faith Andrews, a sweet little girl who brought so much joy and happiness to everyone around her.
Kourtney loved to sing, and she would always sing and play as if nobody was watching.
A message from her family:
"When you're surrounded by a bunch of family and friends, you think someone will see something. It's easy to let your guard down. But, many people also means many distractions. Drowning is so quick and silent, one small distraction is all it takes to change lives forever. A multi-layered approach to water safety and drowning prevention would have saved Kourtney's life."
Please share this message in memory of Kourtney and join us in sending love and strength to her family.

Today, we're remembering Joey Dubics. Joey was a young man whose kind heart, unwavering faith, and love for his family and friends left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. His light continues to shine through the lives he touched.
Joey had a giving heart and cared for others his whole life. He made an impact on his teammates on the football field and throughout his school. His light shined bright for others. He showed up for whoever needed him. He had a tattoo on his chest that he said summed up life: "Faith, Family, Friends." He loved everyone, especially his Mama!
A message from his family:
"Drowning can happen to anyone. Joey was an excellent swimmer but drowned with his life jacket on, on his paddle board. All drownings are preventable. Take whatever steps you need to that will protect your child and all the children around you. It only takes a minute to lose your child to a drowning, and it CAN happen to anyone!"
Please share this message to keep Joey's memory alive and join us in sending strength and love to the Dubics family.
