On Friday, our student body & staff had the honor of hearing Jack Grandcolas speak. Jack's wife, Lauren, and their unborn child lost their lives on Flight 93 on September 11th. He shared his love story with Lauren, his journey with grief, and his process of healing and finding love again.
He emphasized to our students that everyone will face storms, some storms that will be unimaginable, but that they can be faced and conquered with faith and the strength to admit when they need help.
His story was powerful, prompting a standing ovation and an engaging question-and-answer period.
Jack is the author of, "Like a River to the Sea," and is in the Akron/Canton area to speak at the Wings of Charity Gala, sponsored by the HALO Foundation.
Special thanks to Crusader alum, Ed Roth, who helped arrange Jack's visit.
