Huntsville Homes -- Helping Others when Tragedy Strikes

Huntsville Homes -- Helping Others when Tragedy Strikes

It happened a year ago. A Fiery Crash.  Who had run that red light and why!  It took the lives of a young Mother and her Son?  Why? Why?

Fast forward to this fall 2010.  I received a call from a Mom helping her son find his first home.  We talked, I thought of what just might be the perfect place.  We went to see it---they LOVED it!  Happy---they were happy.  Even Dad came along. 

The son is quite a character--a bright young man in his early 20's with a promising future.  Now---he has his first place.  He is kind of a "prankster" as well.  He enjoys "pulling one over on me" every now and then.  Just a happy young man. 

So...why did I see tears in his eyes when we wrote the contract and scheduled the closing date?

....his closing date was his birthday...and last year's birthday celebration was the last time he saw his sister and nephew alive.

"For such a time as this"  Sometimes we walk into roles that are deeper than we would have ever expected. 

By the way this young man want to become a Realtor.  Cool, huh?!  He has been my guest to several training events with Keller Williams and even cam to an event where I was one of the featured speakers.  (He's a glutton for punishmnt, I guess)  I keep telling him that "the world is his oyster--he can do whatever he puts his mind to."  I would have loved to have had a son like him.

Tonight in Huntsville is a benefit for a Scholarship Program started by Mom in honor of her daughter and grandson. 

Please read about it. 

And...if you hear your heart promting you to contribute to the scholarship fund, follow your heart. 

A Mom, Dad, and Son honoring the memory of 2 lives cut way too short--

loss of an only daughter and their first and only grandchild. 

Mom's first inclination....start a scholarship fund for a scholarship to be given to a deserving senior at Huntsville HS so that he or she can have some assistance to pursue a better life for themselves an their family. 

If you live in the area or close to it....please come. It will be a wonderful celebration of life and gratitude for the happiness in every day.  Live every day, I guess is the theme.  Enjoy your family and your friends.  Celebrate life!  Celebrate family.

Family Rocks....Family is the Rock...indeed the foundation of our great land.
