We just want to take a moment to recognize one of our sophomores, Maddyx McNatt! Maddyx was honored at today’s MFDA Winter Seminar, and we couldn’t be more proud.

All the hard work, late nights, and dedication you’ve put in are really paying off, and it shows. Keep pushing, keep shining, and keep being great you’re going to do big things!

We had 15 people attend our Northern District Meeting at Georgia Blue in Southaven. Our speakers, Mark and Madison, from the Veteran's Cemetery presented us with some very informative information on veteran burials. We raised $185.00 from the 50/50 raffle and Chad Garner from Ambulance and Coach Sales had the winning ticket. He donated his winnings back to the foundation! We had Maddyx McNatt from Magnolia Funeral Home attend for the first time. Best wishes to her as she completes her mortuary science degree.

We want to thank our sponsors, Peebles Mortuary Service and Wilbert Vault Co. for sponsoring the event.
