Hi everyone,
We started off the Holiday Season with a memorial service for our dear friend and my What's Happenin' editor, Judy Leach. After a year of a valiant fight against Lung Cancer, Judy has left us in body to remain eternally in our hearts. She was and is a wonderful, sweet soul who always gave of herself, in her jobs, in her work and for her island. She is a reminder to us of how rich our lives can be just being all that we can be. It's not about money, or fame, or being better than someone else. It's about passion, compassion, and Love. Judy had a lot of all those things. It showed in the way she wrote about the island, the people and the potential each has. Whenever there was a choice of paths to follow, of perspectives to voice, she chose the highest and best for everyone.
In this Season of Love, Birth, Rebirth and Peace, it is my
hope that we can all infuse a little of this into our souls and give our best to
everyone.
Thanks for reading and have a great visit!
Jim for Judy Leach
