In Dedication to: Sean and Lindsey Gallagher

The Sonshine Yearbook team is honored to dedicate the 2024 Eastern Sky Yearbook to Sean and Lindsey Gallagher. Sean came to Sonshine as the director of Dining Services in 2020 and has since also stepped into coaching JV basketball and is currently serving as the Athletic Director and Youth Pastor at Sonshine Church. Lindsay is serving as the worship leader and Ladies Ministry Leader. We are blessed to have them as part of the Sonshine family and look forward to serving with them to reach the Fort Myers community for Jesus for years to come.

O Jerusalelm, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 1:6

Chelesy Broxton

Chelsey,

I have watched you grow and blossom into a beautiful God fearing young lady. I am so proud of you and love you with all of my heart! As one door closes and a new one opens, keep your eyes focused on Jesus and remember to seek him." Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you." James 4:8 Always remember "You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you." Phillippians 4:13. I cant wait to see all the wonderful things you are going to do for Jesus! I'll always be in your corner cheering you on. I LOVE YOU! Mom

Chelsey,

There are no words to describe how proud it makes me to see the Woman of God you have become. While you were in your mothers belly it was prophesied that you be a warrior for the kingdom of God and preach the gospel. To see that development within your heart brings me such joy! I remember when you were little and would snuggle up in the recliner with me and watch Spongebob. No matter how much I wanted to watch something else, I would cave every time. You would then head for bed with your thumb in your mouth and blanket tucked under your arm and wait for mom or I to come and tuck you in. I wish I could do it all over again! You have made me the proudest dad on the planet! Continue to grow in the Lord and follow that small still voice. Remember Daddy has your back every step of the way. I LOVE YOU, Dad

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2024.

Riah you make me so proud of you in many ways. You are more precious than words can say. Wherever you go, whatever you do just know I will always LOVE YOU my mini me

In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path.

Proverbs 3:6

Dear Riah, I'm so happy that you took your school and ministry serious and I'm loving the young woman that you are becoming today. Yes, I am a very proud Dad.

Love you

Our lovely "Riah". Words cannot describe how proud we are of the God fearing young lady you have become. You have honored the Lord in all your ways, even in the toughest moments, and because of that you will be blessed. May the Lord direct your path always and use you for His glory.

Love your other family Jacob, Jeannette, Juji, Jayda, Hannah, Jake, and Gigi

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you.

Jeremiah 1:5
