These past three days I traveled to St. Louis for my cousin Victoria’s memorial services. She was only 51, and died after a courageous two year battle with cancer. She was a big inspiration in my own battles with cancer during that same time period. My cousins made the services special with music, recollections and tributes. It was good to be with family as we shared both tears and laughter to grieve, remember and celebrate.

At St. Joseph's Indian School, our privately-funded programs for Lakota (Sioux) children in need have evolved over 90 years of family partnership, experience and education. Because of generous friends who share tax-deductible donations, Native American youth receive a safe, stable home life; individual counseling and guidance; carefully planned curriculum based on Lakota culture and individual student needs and tools to help build confidence, boost self-esteem and improve cultural awareness. All of this helps children to live a bright, productive, possibility-filled future.
