Carter Hill

Sunny weather and warm temperatures today. We completed the rest of our work today so now we have the rest of the week free. Not a bad deal at all.

On a sad note…..a couple days ago we received word that fellow retired firefighter Carter Hill has become seriously ill. He has been battling a rare blood disorder and had gone through two bone marrow transplants. Unfortunately he has developed another disease or disorder which has left him fighting for his life. John has received several calls from fire department members and friends updating us on his condition. Carter has spent his life helping others. He has been involved with the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s programs and fundraisers for children and many other organizations. A local Jackson, MS news channel posted a bulletin asking for blood platelet donations from people in the surrounding areas. We are praying that Carter will get better soon.

Laugh everyday. Happy trails. Stay Safe.
