In Memory of Jenny and Graham.

Jenny's Light

Some of you have heard me speak of this tragedy over the last year. Today marks one year since their untimely passing.

It still makes me unbearably sad, and I am not surprised at all to find myself weeping once again for the indescribable loss their family and friends still suffer.

Jenny, Graham,

I did not know you, but I pray that you are together in peace. I will keep you both in my mind and heart and will continue to spread your light.


Here is the email newsletter I recieved today:

“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.”

- Robert Brault

In remembrance and honor of Jenny & Graham Bankston, we encourage you to light a candle today and do something Jenny would want you to do:

1. Enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend
2. Eat lots of candy!
3. Don’t feel guilty buying something you ‘really’ like and would make you happy (or do the same for someone you care about)
4. Take a moment to pet a dog you see someone walking on the street
5. Call a friend you haven’t talked to in a while
6. Sing along to Christmas carols, no matter how bad you might sound

7. Be extra friendly to a waiter, a store clerk or your neighbor
8. Enjoy a nice glass of wine, or two…

9. Smile, a lot

10. Laugh, out loud

One more quote that encompasses Jenny…

“Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know.

Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted. “

- George Kneller
