The Barron Crown Award!






Our family is made up of a committee that likes to honor special, and I mean EXTRAORDINARY people. We are the "Barron Crown Award" committee. At family home evening we nominate people that we feel deserve to receive this honor and award. We vote and then surprise the person with the ceremony at their front door. Our very first recipient is a woman by the name of ANITA ROBBINS. We gave her the red carpet treatment, a special speech on why she is SPECIAL and a bag of Star Bursts (because she is a STAR!) and of course the blue ribbon as a memento to remember that she is a "GRAND CHAMPION AMAZING INDIVIDUAL"! We honored Anita for many reasons, but the one thing that stood out to us was the way she took in her special needs sister in law after the death of her mother in law. Her entire life was changed with the care of her sister in law Shelly. She needs a lot of care 24/7. The thing that stood out as really special was the spirit in which that she did it. She was happy to do it. She gave so much love to Shelly, made her feel comfortable in their home. Taught her how to do new things and dedicated herself to helping her. Anita has shown me such a great example. We are so happy to know you !
