Heather's Nice News (HNN)

I have always wanted there to be a news program that wasn't all about the horrible things that people have done, but all of the wonderful things that people are doing. Celebrating the good! So I am going to start one. It is called HNN. And Tonight's top story is........


Giving and generous family move to Prescott!

We are very sorry to have to say goodbye to Lindsey and Ryan Lowry family. Their kindness, excitement for life, and service to others will be missed by local Surprisians. They will especially be remembered for taking a local family out on a hot summer morning (a holiday no less) to help them learn to rappel. With no thought for himself, Ryan Lowry awoke on said holiday at 5am and scouted out a good location and set up all of the equipment. The family lazily awoke hours later and headed out with the Gardners and their super fun and wonderful parents (I think that is where their son Ryan got it). We were rewarded with homemade cinnamon rolls by the lovely Toni Lyn Gardner, and fresh cut fruit. Only the best when they do things for others.The group than hiked in the desert and up this hill to begin their adventure. Ryan, and all his family with no thought for themselves, cheerfully helped everyone learn, and rappel down the steep cliff. All were cheered on no matter how slow they went.




Toni and Ryan's parents who just open up their hearts to everyone and are so enthusiastic!Rachel, and all of the girls looked so cute! I was so proud of them for being so brave!


Yes, I tastefully cut out my backside. It wouldn't be appropriate for headline news!

Here is the man of the day coming down facing forward, and running down the cliff. Thanks Ryan for all of your hard work, and giving of your time so that we could have a special day. We will miss your family. But don't worry we will come up and visit. Isn't there a river we have to rappel down into? smile. We wish you and your sweet family the best of luck! Your family is really an example of finding true joy in bringing happiness to others. We are trying to be just like you Gardner clan! So glad you are our friends.

You're so awesome! Thank you. I will miss having Ryan and Lindsay here also. I'm already going to visit them this weekend :) I appreciate all that you do and really I'm trying to be more like you.
