"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see…"
Its been a sad couple of days for many of those in Chico and beyond. Two wonderful people have passed this week, Roger Williams and Patty Lynch. Both too young to go.
Mr. Williams was my high school principle, and it was because of him that I thought all administrators were just plain nice. He always had a smile on his face, was always greeting students by name; beyond my high school days, he always made the time to relax and talk, sincerely wanting to know what his past students were up to…
Patty Lynch is a family friend and although I didn't know her, I just saw her last weekend at her granddaughters soccer game. She spent her final days in the presence of those she loved and I know it meant the world to her family that she fought so hard to live as many days as she could.
I pray that both are happy now, that any suffering is over. And I pray for their friends and family, that they can make it through these difficult days, weeks, months and years; that they know Roger and Patty are looking down upon them, providing them the strength they need through such a horrible time.
God bless their families, Robin
