Floyd & Karen speak at Teulon High School

Several months ago, a concerned person, working in the Teulon High School sent me an email asking us to speak at the school during "Drug Awareness" week. There are 250 students in this school, and we were in front of the students for 90 minutes. Karen spoke about who TJ was and made several pointed facts about drugs, Floyd told the story and the details behind the murder. The 250 kids were amazing in how attentive they were.

After our talk, several students gathered around us and told us how concerned they were about drugs, and some reported their own families struggles with Crystal Meth. Several of the students were in tears. We certainly made a memorable impression on these kids. When we got home, I received several emails from students thanking us for our story, and the promise to help others.

While this certainly takes a mental toll on us, we sure feel that TJ is in the room with us. It's amazing.
