Wappapello, MO - In honor of the late Josh Monroe, the family would like to pay forward the love and the blessings they received during that tragic time of their lives to other families that have experienced trauma.
It is their hope that mental wellness will be an important healing process with love offerings to help families with their needs during traumatic times or are battling mental illness.
Josh was a fine musician, and he and his wife Stephanie met and created their relationship because of music.
So, a music festival seems the perfect way to help those in need as we pay tribute to Josh's legacy.
Music heals, and it's their hope this charity will honor Josh and help mend the hearts and minds of those that experience the unfortunate.
Where words fail, music speaks.

100-Mile Yard Sale Kicks Off This Week; Drivers Urged To Use Caution
Visitors and residents will be out in full force along Route 25 Memorial Day weekend in search of bargains at the 100-Mile Yard Sale, but MoDOT wants you to remember the greatest savings of the event could be a life.
“It’s a fun weekend that people look forward to each year,” says Traffic Engineer Craig Compas, “but we want people to remember that there’s more traffic and more congestion along Route 25 this weekend than any other and drivers need to keep that in mind.”
MoDOT will do its part to bring the safety message to the forefront. Message boards will be in place along the route to alert drivers of the unusual traffic patterns and promote safe driving.
“We really want drivers to be alert—to be aware of their surroundings, to be aware of sudden stops and to look for pedestrian traffic,” Compas says. “Additionally, there is an increase in traffic, including large truck traffic, between the City of Jackson and the Route AB in Cape Girardeau County due to the Diverging Diamond Interchange construction. While we want everyone to enjoy themselves, we ask that people also be as safe as possible.”
For more information, contact Compas at (573) 472-5310 or call MoDOT’s Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (1-888-275-6636).
