as most of you all know, i lost my 22 year-old cousin this summer. i cannot even imagine what it would be like to be in my aunt and uncle's shoes right now. yet, they are the ones bringing a positive light to the situation by honoring michael and helping others at the same time.
my aunt and uncle have opened up a christmas tree farm (they bought the land last spring) and the donations from it will go to support a scholarship for art students at the college michael went to, texas lutheran university.
a beautiful way to honor michael. 
if you would like to pick out your very own live christmas tree while supporting the cause at the same time, go to the Duck and Dog Christmas Tree Farm at 310 Warncke Road in New Berlin (in between Seguin and San Antonio). Open every Saturday and Sunday until Christmas from 10-5.
Directions From Seguin: Go West on I-10 to exit 601 (FM 775). Turn left on FM 775 and go 8 miles to Warncke Road. Turn left and go 2/10 mile to the Duck and Dog on the left.
to me, the fact that michael's parents are honoring him during the christmas season brings true meaning to the spirit of christmas, the message of HOPE through christ's birth. **********************************************************

That is so true Laura... that is the try meaning of hope! I saw in the Seguin paper that Tommy and Beth were starting the Christmas tree farm. Fabulous idea and that is so exciting for your family!
Thanks for making comment posting easier. I'll put NIYP at the end so you know it's from your Auntie in Austin.
what a wonderful way to honor him!
