Melissa LaNear presents a donation of $500 from the Emily Ann DeBrine Foundation to the Teen Angels Program. Jason Claspill accepts the donation on Thursday, Dec 10, as an Evergreen Memorial representative. Those wishing to adopt an angel may stop by Evergreen Memorial Chapel Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., and select a card with a gift request; then, purchase the gift and return it to the chapel by Dec. 14. Cash donations also are accepted. --submitted photo

What a wonderful way to honor a family member or friend.

That is a great way for the DeBrine family to honor their daughter's life. Thanks also to Jason for the work you do!

This is a great way to "pay it forward"...both the DeBrine family and the Teen Angel Program. A wonderful example of people working together to change their community!
