It’s been a sad few days in our little town of Harvard. A few days ago, one of the bright and lovely kids from our town died tragically in a swimming accident. Our family didn’t know this young man, but as I read about him, it’s made me mourn him because of his hard work, dedication and positive impact he had on the people that were in his life.

I can’t imagine the grief his family and loved ones must feel. Unimaginable. But they are all in my thoughts as they attempt to navigate such a difficult time ahead.

Rest easy, buddy. You appear to have left quite a legacy in your short time.
