The Lakeview Academy community recently came together to celebrate the inauguration of the Kailyn "KK" Johnson Memorial Garden – a touching tribute to a beloved PEC (Program for Exceptional Student) student who recently passed away.Â
The garden, a place where Kailyn found solace and joy, has undergone a remarkable transformation thanks to the dedicated efforts of Joshua Craddock. Craddock initiated the renovation of the garden for his Eagle Scout project and in dedication to his sister's best friend.Â
This garden will forever serve as a testament to Kailyn's spirit and the profound impact she had on those around her.

In addition to the garden itself, Kailyn's fellow PEC students wanted to create something special to commemorate her life. They compiled a book filled with cherished memories, heartfelt messages, and their own artwork, and dedicated it to KK. A book was presented to the family at the memorial garden dedication and the following day, surrounded by the garden she held dear, her friends gathered to sign copies of the book, adding their own personal tributes and ensuring that her spirit would forever be remembered.
Everything sounded so lovely until the end.Â
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.Â
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.Â
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 72 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Mist for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.Â
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.Â
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
