But the echoes of your life go beyond family. Jackie, my wife, and I work everyday with an amazing team at Bluefish TV in Dallas. Talented. Creative. Energetic. Many of them are under 30. It would be impossible for anyone to understand my story without knowing these guys. You need to talk to Andy, Justin, Phil, Wanda, Lonnie, Courtney, Chad, Josh, Pick, Diana, and 65 others.

Hello. Hello. Hello. (I'm making echoes)

There is a ripple effect. Your story continues through your family, your friends, and your co-workers. So even when you are gone, the echoes of your life will continue. You will still be heard.
You will still be heard. You will still be ...
