Your selfless dedication is deeply treasured and cherished, dear, sweet sister-in-law.

This has been a great day. After receiving all those new photos today of Colton, I heard from the Roane State Foundation. They awarded Colton's scholarship to a young woman that works at Campbell County EMS where Colton worked! Congratulations to Deanna Campbell!

I want to publicly thank my sister in law, Lora Bebee, for her generous donation to Colton's Scholarship! Every year, she has made it possible for another student to proceed with their dream of becoming an EMT or paramedic. She ensures Colton's memory will carry on through his memorial scholarship and I am so grateful for that.

Personally, Lora has brought new life to our family and I'm so thankful she is a part of it!

I'm so happy to announce Gabrielle Montero as the newest recipient of the Colton Stout Memorial Scholarship. She sounds like a young woman whose heart is in the right place and we wish her all the best in her endeavors!

A special "thank you" to Lora Bebee, without her, this wouldn't be possible❤
