Last night, several community members and I put together “water bottle art messages” for friends to send a message to their friend, Shaun.  Tom Thumb of Mesquite donated over 50 water bottles and we will filled each bottle with several drops of water coloring. We then cut out wax paper and asked his friends and family to write a message on each and place the message in the bottle. This was an opportunity for the teens to express themselves through art and we hope to inspire each of you to do this all over your neighborhoods in the City of Mesquite. This is the final product. Our only  hope was to inspire the young people to express their grief constructively and with creativity.

In each of the bottles is a message to their friend, Shaun Hebert.

You can find this display at the corner of Bruton Road and Poplar.

Special thanks to the City of Mesquite, City of Garland, City of Balch Springs, and the City of Dallas for their recovery efforts of this fine young man.
