The Dutton Fun Day Chairmen will declare the 2008 Dutton Fun Day celebration a huge success. By all accounts this one could be one of the best as a fundraiser, for a number of years.

Memorial Luncheon For Billie Lou Stephens Exhibits Dutton's Exceptional Geneorsity

Memorial Luncheon For Billie Lou Stephens Exhibits Dutton's Exceptional Geneorsity

By Chris Stephens
Dutton Country Courier

Keepsakes; we all gather them. Some are silly, some follow our accomplishments, some lead the way to our dreams, but we all have a box or a drawer full of them.

I asked Vickie Maurer to give me a list of the hostess’s of my mother’s funeral luncheon. My first impression was surprise by the number of people who contributed. 

I was truly humbled by what their contributions meant to our family:  People setting aside of their normal tasks to bring a favorite dish to a funeral luncheon to be shared by a grieving family and community. A last act of kindness given to my mother.

"You can never go back." I don't know how many times I have heard that phrase in discussions throughout my thirty-odd years of existence.  I suppose in most regards it is true.  But how many adults really truly want to go back to their childhood?  Not many, I suppose.  For one thing, someone else has to drive you everywhere.
