On Monday afternoon, Micky Vogel presented Donna Lowery with a Quilt of Valor. Micky made this beautiful quilt and had it registered with the QOV organization before presenting it to Donna.

Pastor Heather, Bea and Donna Gaddy were also present for the ceremony. Donna Lowery shared with them about her time in Vietnam, her lifelong career in the Army and some of her favorite moments from over the years.

We continue to pray for Donna, her health and healing as she recovers. If you’d like to send Donna a card, please drop them off in the church office and Bea will make sure they get to her.
