We’ve had some sadness too due to injuries and illnesses and departures but the Skyview family was always there for support, love and prayers. I have had the privilege to be part of this great family! I also want to send the biggest THANK YOU to our track crew who kept the show rolling no matter what!!!!!!! So for the last time…..See ya when I see ya!!
