Dad was interviewed on the Lucy Ann Lance show this week. It was the spot that is held every week for the Saline Chamber of Commerce and they had an opening so they asked Dad to talk about you and Mortgages With A Heart.
Lucy Ann Lance knew all about your story and said some wonderful things about you. In one of the questions that Dad answered he said I shared some wisdom with him at the time of your service when he was feeling frustrated. He didn't quite say it right, but the thought (my own thought at the time) was a great comfort to me. Here it is:
The timing of your death was amazing because at the point in your life, you had the most influence on people younger than you, your age, and people older than you-probably the most influence that you will ever have in your whole life. Even one more year would have made a difference-the friends you just graduated with would probably have been more scattered, the friendships not as strong, etc.
On the other spectrum, you had aunt, uncles and grandparents there who, under normal circumstances, would never be at your funeral as they should have preceded you in death. Your outreach was immense, and I don't even feel as if I am describing it well at all. I know what I mean though and hopefully you do too. Love you!
