He no longer can attend to his needs without help from his family and friends. There will be many trips back and forth to Barnes. This is, and will continue to be, a difficult journey for this amazing family. You can help support them through a fundraiser being held thru May 30th. Details can be obtained by contacting Robyn Pace @ 573-760-2460 and Jackie Bryan @ 573-631-7593.
