Yesterday morning I got up at the crack of dawn to meet with the North St. Paul/ Maplewood/ Oakdale Rotary. People seemed hesitant at first to talk about such a heavy issue, like domestic abuse, so early in the morning but I was once again pleasantly surprised how well received my presentation was. By the end of my presentation people were sharing their stories and what they knew about domestic abuse. I’m glad I was able to share my message with such a wonderful group of people. It was also very special that many Rotarians asked me if I was Jack’s granddaughter. It is heartwarming that his memory lives on even years after his passing; his life touched so many people.
Until next time,
