The Message

This past week has been a week of sadness and heartbreak. I feel for the families that lost precious loved ones during the tragic shooting in CT. We live in a crazy world. Just this morning I heard the sad news that a very good friend of mine passed away.

Overcome. Achieve. Victory. IKUNA
