He
was
heavily
involved
in
this
church
and
held
a
new
number
of
leadership

most

dr

Mr

I
would
ask
for
a
moment
of
silence
for
your
uncle
sid.
H
H
His
name
is
carlos
and
he
isn't
the
unfortunately,
the
district
of
champions
right
now
in
collierville,
but
I
was
gonna
read
this
proclamation,
but
I
was
an
esperial
from
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
y'all
know
that
there
is
a
raccoon,
which
is
the
official
state
animal
of
tennessee.
That
does
predict
whether
or
not
there
will
be
spring
or
winter
by
predicting
a
shadow.
So
if
we
really
clap
loud,
maybe
you'll
hear
us
all
the
way
from
the
district
of
champions.
Thank
you.
