Honor Wall
The Thanks A Million Gala was started to honor those who came before us while helping older adults.
With your donation of $30 you can upload a photo of someone you want to honor for display on our honor wall.
Michael Pennell
Seen here at his college graduation from Clayton State in 2015 just one month shy of his 70th birthday, our father's life is best explained by fellow Irishman, C.S. Lewis, " You are never too old to set a new goal or dream a new dream." Shortly after his graduation, Michael would spend the remaining years of his life living in long term care facilities with the same spark and determination he held fiercely throughout his life easily charming all who cared for him with his winsome wit and tall tales. He filled his days making plans for new adventures including a trip to Ireland with all his family and spending Christmas at the Biltmore House. When he said he loved you more than all the stars, that was the ultimate compliment, and we honor him here with all the stars and beyond. We ask all who visit here support the Thanks Mom and Dad fund so that many more elders can continue to dream a new dream. With Love Collin & Gigi

My Mom grew up with 8 brothers and sisters on a small dairy farm in Western North Carolina. She packed in so much learning in her younger years that when it was time to start school she skipped the first grade! Her love of reading continues to this day. Mom excelled in basketball in high school and studied Physical Education at Berea College. While raising her family, coaching basketball, and serving in leadership roles at her church, she dedicated more than 3 decades of service to the United Methodist Childrens' Home. She supported Dad in his many sporting endeavors and stood by him as a caregiver during the tough years he suffered from dementia. Mom is truly my hero and I appreciate the opportunity for her to shine on the Thanks Mom & Dad Honor Wall. -Susan Morgan
