Cruisin’ For Raegan
The community has prayed and come together for the past two years in hopes for a cure for Raegan Boden. However, on Thursday March 19, God called her home to heaven. To show the community’s love and support, a cruise night was planned to cruise around Main Street and the Boden’s home in Smith Center last Saturday night, March 28. The turn out and support was amazing!!! Streets were jam packed and cars even had to circle the other way to make room for all the people who wanted to show John and Kathi and girls their support and love for them and Raegan.
Cruisers drove the path from 7-8:00pm. The Boden family sat in their garage and waved and smiled back to thank their friends for the support of their family! What a great way to show the closeness of families in our communities in a time of social distancing. Communities like ours will always find a way to show love and support and take care of each other.
