TommyLog – How the past still goes deep

This week I reconnected with a family from my childhood past. Their name is the Horsley family and I just love them. They have a son Scott who I was rather close to and he was killed in a terrible car crash in 1983. Reconnecting to them really brought back his memory. Just amazing how much I remember of that event and how hard it still hits deep.

Mom Horsely, Gloria and big sister, Heidi both have their doctorate and have started a foundation to help siblings in time of loss and grief. Well worth a trip over to give support http://www.opentohope.com/

TommyLog – The Impact You Make!

I received an email from a long lost college roommate of mine from BYU, Kevin Shelley. – Love Kevin. He told me of the death of a mutual friend from our sophomore year at BYU. The thing that touched me so much was that Kevin got to chat with her just days before she passed. She told Kevin that I was the first person she met at BYU and the positive impact I had on her live…even after 16 years. WOW!
Makes you think that impact and mark will you make? Do you do stuff just for today or do you plan for the future?

My heart just aches – R.I.P Julie

Today, one of my best friends, lost his sweetheart to cancer. What a loss… and a sad day for all who knew her and Rick. Rick has always been my biggest advocate throughout my work career at Banta and beyond. Always cheering me onto greater heights and seeing this all unfold is just rotten. Hearing this news has just crushed me. I’m rarely like this but I had to share.

Makes you really think… how will you be remembered? Are you remembered for your faults or your good deeds?

How will you be remembered?
