many months of class work and clinicals.

Step Dad, His sister Krissy and brother in law Billy, His sister Crystal, His brother Greg.Matt's two
nieces Kateyln and Mikayla as well as his nephew Joshua. A couple of Matt's neighbors were also present.
The ceremony was beautiful and very emotional with everyone crying several times. It included
a slide show presented by the instructors as well as the class presenting a rose to each person who had
supported or been an inspiration to them during their time in school. Matt gave a rose to his wife Sandy, his mother
in law Brenda and his Mom Jeannette. A reception followed the ceremony.
Matt has not yet decided on where he will work but has several options.
Reunion time and location set
The 3rd annual Sutherland Family Reunion is
slated for Saturday August 4th at Kiwanis Park in Grundy. The gathering will start at 12:00pm. Everyone is invited. This year
we are thinking about doing a different type of gathering rather than the traditional covered dish get together. The last
two years have been extremely hot and it's really hard to keep food outside. We need volunteers to help coordinate this years
reunion as well as come of with food and game ideas. If you would like to be a part of a committee to put this together
then send an email to:
We also took T-Shirt sizes at the Mothers day
gathering at Mamaw Jeannette's. If we did not get your size then send it to us by email as soon as possible.
Mother's
Day
Thank you
to everyone who stopped by Mamaw Jeannette's on Mothers day. We all had a wonderful time and it was a blessing to see Mamaw
feeling so well. She had a great day and kept talking about how good it was to see everyone. We could not get
her into bed until after 2:oo am. The dinner was extra good this time. Thank you Billy so much for all of
your hard work on the grill. Thank you Pam for that wonderful Lemon Lush dessert. You must have put some special love
into it this time. I think next time we might need two!
If you did
not get to stop by then you were truly missed and it just wasn't same without you.
Mamaw has been feeling a lot better
since she got out of the hospital in April. Keep her in your prayers that she may be blessed with many more good days.
