This week’s topic is dealing with loss.

 

Small companies most often give the feeling of being part of a team or family. Loss of one of those members through death is complex emotionally.

Last Saturday, one of our superintendents unexpectedly passed away.

Thanks to Window Works for the topic suggestion. I was considering canceling.

@RigginsConst We could talk about that. I'm sure it would be a heartfelt chat for all involved. Everyone has lost someone.
