What Really Matters

What I thought I would be talking about in this week's blog seems so small now. Instead what really matters is the community. Purcellville has lost a son, a brother, a friend, and a soldier.We all feel the same, that words cannot express the loss of Capt. Michael Quin, U.S. Marine Corps. I remember the day he came to our front door asking for our daughter Becky. He was polite and formal. Reaching his hand out in the introduction and stating, "I am Michael Quin and I am an acquaintance of Becky." I felt the need to return the formality and invite him in even though Becky was not home. That infectious smile is unforgettable. No need to say he will be be missed by everyone he touched. The Corps lost a great soldier, God got a great son. Every community has a Michael Quin. Reach out and tell them "thank you".
