Today, we remember those we have lost to cancer.

We remember their lives, their strength, their courage, and the love they left behind. We honor every person who fought bravely and every family who has had to say goodbye. Their memories will forever remain in our hearts.

Today, we walk in their memory, we continue to support those still fighting, and we keep LaRena’s legacy alive by helping local individuals and families facing cancer. 💕🎗️

Forever remembered. Forever loved. Never forgotten. 🩷
