What a meaningful afternoon at today’s Sparta Chamber luncheon.

A heartfelt thank you to Michelle with On Angels' Wings for sharing the incredible mission behind their organization. Their work providing therapeutic photography and grief recovery services to families facing unimaginable circumstances deeply moved everyone in the room. There truly were very few dry eyes in the house, and we are so grateful she spent part of her day with our chamber community.

We also had the pleasure of welcoming our four newest Chamber members and celebrating the return of a member rejoining us after a hiatus. We’re thankful to continue growing such a supportive and connected business community.

We’ll see everyone again on June 17 to hear from Show Me Christian County on Business Continuity - sponsored by White River Connect.

Today is a heavy day for law enforcement across the nation, and especially for our brothers and sisters at the Christian County Sheriff's Office as two heroes are laid to rest.

We ask our community to continue praying for the families and friends affected by this tragedy, for the safety of every officer who continues to serve, for those who were on scene that evening, for the dispatchers who answered the phones and radios on that dreadful Monday, for the ambulance crews who responded, and for the coroner who had to make a call no one should ever have to make.

May we continue to stride forward in honor of Deputy Gabriel Ramirez and Deputy Michael Hislope. May you both rest in peace. We love you both. 🙏 🖤💙🖤

Our hearts are heavy in Christian County.

In the wake of last night’s tragic loss of two law enforcement officers, we join our community in mourning and in gratitude for the men and women who serve and protect us every day.

During unimaginable moments like this, organizations such as the Christian County 100 Club step forward to support first responders and their families. We encourage our business community and residents to consider supporting the Christian County 100 Club as they care for the families and agencies impacted.

Sparta and Christian County are strong because of our people - and we stand together in times of sorrow. Please keep the families, fellow officers, and all first responders in your prayers.

It is with an extremely heavy heart that we extend our deepest condolences to the Christian County Sheriff's Office, as well as to the family, friends, and fellow officers mourning the tragic loss of two deputies, who were killed in the line of duty.

In this time of profound loss, we will continue the honor of serving for our fallen brothers’.
