Tonight is the Benefit Dinner

This might be the easiest night this week to figure out what you are having for dinner!

Tonight, we gather at Dickey's Barbeque Pit in Rockwall

Anytime between 5:00-8:30 p.m.

To celebrate the life of David Matthew

To show support to Justin and Jennifer

My husband and I hope to meet all of you and take a picture of your family that I will post to this site so that we can share with Jennifer and Justin the faces of all the caring individuals that make this night a success!

Dear David,

We love you! Keep up the fight and know that tonight there will be a huge gathering of people together in fellowship because of the power of praying, praising, and believing in God's everlasting goodness, healing, and grace in your sweet life.

See you all tonight! Tara Baker

The Benefit is Tomorrow

Tomorrow, May 19th, David's Benefit will take place.

Be a part of it!

Let us all come together, eat dinner, fellowship with each other over the one thing we all have in common -- to extend our support to Justin, Jennifer, Abby, their extended family and DAVID!

Tuesday was a most amazing day for Jennifer to be able to hold her sweet son for the first time!

Let's make tomorrow another amazing day for this family that we are praying for, love and care about so much.

David's Benefit dinner.

Be a part of it!

Mark your calendars! It is simple:

come to Dickey's Barbecue Pit in Rockwall

on Tuesday, May 19th

Anytime between 5:00-8:30 p.m.

Yes -- YOU can help! Have a meal with your family and know that a percentage of the sale will go directly to the Hood's to help ease their many needs at this time! The flyer is going to be sent home today with each child in the preschool program that Abby and my daughter attend! Wow! I will be working to spread the word through the fire department and Justin and Jennifer's Sunday School next. Please, also tell your friends and family of this event. I am praying for a successful night, all to honor David and GLORIFY GOD!

Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

(Thank you to my dear friend Susan, who inspired me to organize this benefit after the success of baby Jaden's benefit in March.)

In friendship and community, Tara Baker

Tomorrow Is Monday...

...and you know what that means! Looking forward to seeing all of David's supporters in blue. It may be an extra special time to show the Hood family you are praying since David might have his chest closed tomorrow as well. Send pictures to bluefordavid@gmail.com.

In addition to viewing the pictures tomorrow, be sure to check back here on Tuesday for a special announcement!
