Last night we participated in the Relay for Life event in Valdez, benefitting the American Cancer Society. I walked in honor of my grandfather, James Goutierez, who died 4/30/1991 of lung cancer. I donated money to get a Luminaria made in his honor. The local elementary students decorated the bags, and I supplied this pic of him. The weather was really awful, raining all night. I think this made the Luminarias even more symbolic, since the candles inside burned brightly despite the rain. Thank you to all of our family members that donated to ACS through us! Dan and I were able to raise over $640!!!
