To

to
behold.
Also,
to
be
able
to
feel
the
mist
from
the
water
and
see
the
water
fall
from
the
top
with
such
a
great
force
was
awesome.
This
is
a
site
that
will
never be forgotten.
Please continue to keep our members in your prayers!

convalescing

Members,
this
was
a
BIG
election
year
for
a
US

We
hope
everyone
did
their
civil
duty
and
voted
this
past
November
2012.
