In these uncertain times and with tragedy a part of the news on an almost daily basis, we need to remember something - Never put off saying what is in your heart to those you care about, including your community!
Unfortunately, I lost sight of that rule this summer after being in Fillmore for the dedication of the new community pool. Although I meant to get a letter written and into the paper right away, I kept putting it off.
Months have gone by and I still think of Fillmore everyday and want to express our family’s humble appreciation. From the bottom of our hearts, let me say that I thank the city and its’ citizen for naming this beautiful community pool in Neil’s honor. What a legacy!
Although I have moved to Northern California to be closer to my daughter and her family, Fillmore is always in my heart. Neil loved this town. He chose to spend the rest of his life here, and I know he is watching over you everyday with great pride.
Sincerely,
Julie Schmidt
Fillmore
