Niawen

On behalf of the of family of TJ Jackson, we would like to send the BIGGEST NIAWENKO:WA out to all the people that came together and made his benefit a HUGE success!! The Lasagna/Spaghetti Dinner sold out within two hours! The Dance packed the legion wall to wall! So many donations poured in, family and friends came together, words and hugs of encouragement filled the air with positivity, so many raffles and prizes were won, and musicians came out and played for their fellow musician. TJ’s son Billy took the stage with an astounding performance that had every toe tapping and body swaying, acknowledging everyone for coming together, thinking and praying for TJ. It was a day and night of compassion, understanding and generosity. So on behalf of TJ and his family ‘’Thank you...Thank you very much...”
