GOODBYE

March 31, 2011

My earliest memories of You are you sitting in training, usually cracking a joke, making people around you laugh, getting me laughing and off my train of thought, but always eager to learn. One training day in particular, I don’t even remember what we were studying, but in an instant your hand slammed down on the table shocking everyone silent. Your face blood red you said something about how unfair it was that the information we were learning had not been given to teens before now. Your passion for sharing healthy truths and your love for teens was evident from the beginning.

You have given three years to Reality Check, Inc. but more importantly, you have given time, healthy principles, knowledge, and unconditional love and support to teens across Northwest Arkansas and beyond. The impact you have made on their lives will be lasting. Much of it will have eternal significance.

You have changed generations. Future generations will experience being raised in a stronger family because of the time you took to share with their parents - today’s teens. You have given many teens Hope. What a powerful gift. Your family, your children, will reap the benefits of your faithfulness to your calling, and it is a sure calling. That level of care for others comes from a desire or obedience deeper than most people care or dare to go.

This week we said goodbye to you dear friend. We wish you well as you go to the next adventure that lays before you knowing that your love for others, passion for your family, and obedience to God go before you. We will not only miss you in the office but you will be missed in the classrooms as well.

Thank you again for your years of service.

Your Reality Check Family
