Very sad story to hear, but the video from his funeral today was that much harder to watch. Dallas Firefighter Killed in Fall Laid to Rest http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Funeral-Monday-for-Dallas-Firefighter-Killed-in-Fall-245811391.html via @nbcdfw (I'm not sure if you can click on my hyperlink. Google search "myfoxdfw William Scott Tanksley funneral".) Play the video link and watch frame 1:52 (if you watch the video from NBC DFW) or frame 1:08 (if you watch the video from MyFoxDfw), Tanksley's young son, clutching his father's firefighter hat, overwhelm with grief. I am at a lost for words on how to describe the pain and sorrow that I feel for Tanksley's son. God bless the Tanksley family. May they one day find peace with their loss.

I hosted a baby shower for my daughter here in their community room. It's located right off of…read moreValley View. The room is preset in classroom style with tables and chairs to seat up to 24 people. Fortunately the design is really smart, both tables and chairs are all on wheels so rearranging the set up is super easy. They rental policy states be sure to reset to classroom style upon departure. Basic food service is allowed. That was fine for a baby shower. As a heads up, there is no small refrigerator or microwave provided there's just a sink and counter space. We didn't need it for our event but there is a flat screen TV available in the room. If you want coffee you do have to provide your own Keurig or whatever. It's summer and we wanted lemonade so we set up one table with our lemonade, pizza and party snacks. Just make sure you tidy up before you leave. It's nice. Thank you FarmersBranch!
