Love and barbecue, two of my favorite things! This story by @jonjshapley and @_yichinlee is also on my favorites list. Meet Rob and Randi Thraves, a Texan and Australian couple who share a passion for barbecue. houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/r…

In @stevegonzaleshc’s passing, may we continue to smile at another individual and share some positive light. For a smile can uplift a person to new heights and help give them the message that together, we are all in this together. May God welcome Steve with open arms to paradise.

It was evident that @stevegonzaleshc colleagues enjoyed his presence. I oftentimes remember Steve bringing a #CaptainAmerica figurine with him to many of the events and documenting on his FB page. To his family, please know this city extends our condolences during this time.

No matter if it was a news conference, a business opening, a parade, or a community event, @stevegonzaleshc always had a smile on his face and truly showed his passion for capturing our city’s best moments. I was saddened to hear he passed away after his long battle with cancer.
