CC2 Forever Foundation

This past Sunday, the Village of Homer Glen presented our family and Tristian Grabner’s family with the unveiling of a beautiful new mural at the Homer Glen complex fields to forever honor them and keep their memories alive❤️
A few incredibly special thank yous:
- To artist Gary Pierson: Thank you for pouring so much heart and effort into this piece. Gary has created truly amazing art to support us over the past few years, and his artistry has made such a massive difference in how we honor and remember Connor’s life.
- To Mayor Christina Neitzke-Troike & the Village of Homer Glen: Thank you for the beautiful presentation and all your hard work organizing this remembrance. This community’s support means everything to us🤍
To top an already emotional day off, we were surprised by White Sox legend Ozzie Guillen, who even spoke about the mural on the pre- and post-game shows later that day!
Connor was a HUGE White Sox fan, so we know he is absolutely smiling down on this one. Thank you to everyone involved, we are so incredibly grateful for you all!
