Monday, June 26, 2017Aaron and Courtney. Sara and he remained friends to this day. He was a 1972 graduate of Jefferson City High School and had many lifelong friends through his class. Stan was employed in the energy sector his entire professional career, which spanned over 40 years. He was currently employed as a Senior Originator with Westar Energy, based out of Topeka, Kansas, but he traveled the country working with clients. Before his career with Westar, he had worked with Missouri Power and Light (while living in Jefferson City and Moberly), Associated Electric (while living in Springfield), and Cargill (while living in Madison, Wisconsin and Minneapolis, Minnesota). Stan was a man of faith who attended church throughout his life and was a faithful supporter of Alabaster Ministries. Those around him were a witness to his constant nurturing love and faith.Stan had a deep love for his family and always cherished time with them. He was a very private and selfless person, but always took the time to get to know someone the best he could.

Monday, June 19, 2017Mission Park has grown dramatically in the past quarter century, thanks to Tips' emphasis on pre-planning and his vision for development.
"For us, the best part of solar energy is that doing the right thing environmentally is also the right thing to do financially," Tips says. "Solar reduces our long-term operating costs and paves the way for Mission Park to be more environmentally friendly and responsible so we can continue serving the San Antonio community for many more generations to come."
Annually, Mission Park's solar arrays will produce 778,735 kilowatt-hours of electricity, which will offset more than 547 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents. This is comparable to eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions from 116 passenger vehicles driven for one year, recycling 174 tons of waste instead of taking that amount to the landfill, or powering 58 homes' worth of electricity for one year.
Besides being environmentally friendly, Tips says the solar panels were a smart financial investment, and that saving money is especially important to him as he prepares to eventually hand off his business to his children.
"We're innovating, we're taking the environment into account, and we're thinking of the long term of the company." Tips himself drives an electric vehicle, as do may of his employees.
Because funeral homes operate 24 hours a day seven days a week, electric bills are a large portion of their operating costs. Mission Park's project features SunPower 327-watt solar panels, which are the most efficient available today, with unmatched reliability and an expected life of more than 40 years. Freedom Solar Power is a SunPower Master Dealer, the only company with that distinction in Texas.
Once the first phase (the initial seven locations) of Mission Park's solar project has paid for itself, Tips will begin phase two and have Freedom Solar design and install solar arrays on another set of its locations.
"Freedom Solar took care of everything. They answered our questions, walked us through the process, and handled all permitting paperwork associated with our installation, including the utility interconnection agreement and rebate incentive documents. It was a complete turnkey solution. In the end they under-promised and over-delivered, making us very satisfied customers," Tips says.

Saturday, June 10, 2017Gail Healy Kemp received her wings on Thursday, May 11, 2017 after a valiant battle against pulmonary fibrosis. Having fought the battle with every ounce of passion and energy, Gail was the fortunate recipient of 2 lung transplants due to the unselfish acts of anonymous families that she never knew. For these most unselfish gifts, she and her family are, and will forever be, eternally grateful for the 11 extra years they got to spend together.Growing up in Smithtown, New York, Gail moved to Florida in 1988 where she met her husband shortly after arrival Working in both New York and Florida for various travel agencies and an airline, Gail made the career shift to the job she had dreamed of her entire life, becoming a mother. This happened upon the birth of her first son in 1993 and a second son in 1997. Being a mother to her two boys was the greatest and most rewarding profession she could ever imagine and she embraced the “gift” of motherhood like no other. Whether assisting with homework, giving hugs and kisses out like candy, or being politically correct when the Baltimore Ravens played the New England Patriots (her son’s two favorite teams), Gail l...
