Congratulations, Julia and Van Sant Family

Every now and then it is a blessing to see the view from Will’s Bench though someone else’s lens and heart. Today’s photos are from a dear friend and one who William loved very much. Thank you, Liz, for stopping by Lake Elise on Memorial Day weekend and sharing these photos with all of us.
