This has been an exciting week for Le Bonheur. All week they are celebrating the Grand Opening of the new hospital. On June 15, 1952, Le Bonheur was open. 58 years later, a new chapter has begun. Austin and I were so excited to be a part of the festivities. On Monday I participated in the Consecration (Blessing) of the new hospital. Numerous clergy from the MidSouth were part of the ceremony and I was asked to lead the parent prayer. It was a touching and joyous time and I loved being a part of it.

The Grand Opening was held on Tuesday. There was a parade with a ceremony afterwards. Austin and I were participants in the parade. It was a lot of fun but extremely hot.

Our family is extremely thankful for Le Bonheur and the way it takes care of children in the Mid-South. We are blessed to have a facility like this in Memphis.
