A letter from our President

Strength in Togetherness

Family,

The 2026 Reunion was exciting, entertaining and relaxing; however, we sorely missed those who didn’t attend. We hope to see you next year (Lord willing). There’s strength in family togetherness…

Until we meet again, let us continue the legacy of Daddy & Mama Wheat: praying, loving, caring, and giving to one another.

More important than anything, give your hearts to Jesus, if you haven’t already. He’s soon to return. Romans 10:9, 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17, 2 Thessalonians 2:1–5.

Thank you for allowing me to serve you these past 4 years as your President. It’s been rewarding and amazing!

Until later, know that I love you…

Denise
