In Memoriam
This week we lost one of the most amazing women on the planet, Linda Hugle. Anyone who knew Linda knew how unusual she was. She was kind, giving, really smart, fearless, full of energy, and she had joie de vivre. She was diagnosed with Stage Four Pancreatic Cancer 2 1/2 years ago. She put up a valiant battle, created a bucket list - and completed all of it. The most recent was the creation of "Exchange for Change." In November she was honored as the recipient of the Louie Schultz award presented by the Four Way Community Foundation. If I were to list all of her accomplishments, this newsletter would be miles long. Suffice to say she has touched many lives and has made them better. Last summer Linda was part of a TedX in Ashland. Spend the next 19.01 minutes listening to what she said - it's very uplifting and VERY Linda. We will miss her a lot.
