10 years is quite a legacy to be proud of. Anyone who had the pleasure of being cared for by or working beside Pam Gasvoda, would agree.

Her career started in 1970 when she graduated with her Bachelor of...

Often this is most prevalent on the south side or windward side of the tree. In some cases only last year’s new needles are impacted, and in other cases most of the older needles are disproportionately a...
I’ve been working in churches for over 25 years, and I’m quite certain that it is the most difficult Sunday of the year to preach. As a preacher, you spend between six and eight weeks building up to Good Friday and resurrection Sunday.
