And that includes this weekend's
#SuperBowlLVII

This sweet boy is battling brain cancer. He's undergoing the fight of his life, but not without the team right there with him.
Love working with this guy especially today. 18 years ago today Ron had a brain bleed and almost died. Thankful for the doctors who saved his life so we can have our trusty ‘run for the hills’ Ron keeping us advised.

Lubbock firefighter Matt Dawson was critically injured back in 2020 in the line of duty. Our love and prayers are with his family and Lubbock Fire Rescue. Details:
I only met Mike Leach once a few years ago when he stopped by the station. But he had a way of making you feel like you are life long friends, even in a few minutes. His kindness, humor, warmth and demeanor will be forever missed. 🙏
