Students, staff, and communities around Wayne County have been pulling together to offer Paige and her family support in many forms. The students and staff at the Lyons schools have done various activities to offer support and raise funds including "Paving a Pathway for Paige", which is a paper "yellow brick road" that includes messages of encouragement for Paige and her family, a family-oriented walk and carnival, and a sale of "Prayers for Paige" t-shirts. On Wednesday, May 20, at 7:30 PM there will be a community prayer service at the Lyons United Methodist Church. A blood drive in Paige's honor will be hosted at the Sodus Bible Baptist Church on Saturday, May 30.

First I just want to say that, as a college student returning to Lyons for the summer, it is great to come home to a community that is being so supportive and caring of Paige. There are so many great things going on in support of Paige and her family, and I would encourage everyone to get involved! Mr. De Cracker mentioned that a group has formed on Facebook called "Prayers for Paige." When I joined the group when it first began about a month ago, there were 24 people involved. Now there are over 1,000 members of "Prayers for Paige." Thank you, Wayne County Life, for recognizing this remarkable story!

Lyons, a small town, is truly a community I am proud to be from. It is amazing to see everyone coming together as a community to support one another. It takes a team to make change and progress. Thank you to all for supporting and recognizing the power and importance of working together as a community. I hope all from Lyons know the remarkable things that can be done when people forget about their indifferences and join hands to make a difference as a community that truly cares.

Love is the Greatest of All
Love is the greatest of joys
It brings us hope
It brings us faith
When our days are dark with despair
We may lose our faith
And all hope is lost
But love provides us the guiding light
With support from friends and prayers from within
