Each individual will feel and express gratitude in multiple ways. Sometimes things happen in life that requires additional gratitude and acts of love. Our dear friend who was my husband’s bestie since toddler years and my bonus brother from college recently passed away. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed each moment! His deep laughter often lite up the room and was a fun-loving guy. We watched him lived graciously and courageously spending invaluable, quality time with loved ones until the very end. Cancer takes those we love far too early but cannot cripple love, shatter hope, or destroy real relationships. Thank you for the support of our many loving and supportive family, friends, mentees, students, clients, community, and village who demonstrated gratitude.
Gratitude to Kobe, who was my hero of family and community. His sudden loss hurts us deeply and broke our hearts. His daughter, Gianna was such an example for young girls. This father-daughter duo will be deeply missed.
