Overcoming Loss and Tragedy

Its been a very difficult and emotional couple of weeks.  One of my best friends, mentor and brother passed away and I have not felt like doing anything.  The loss has been dramatic and life changing.  How do we as small business owners pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off and continue on when tragedy occurs in our lives. I have to think about “What would Dennis do?”. Dennis would feel compassion for everyone and then would move through the pain with as much gusto as he could muster. That was what made Dennis so special. He would stop and feel the pain but then would keep moving forward. I guess that’s all any of us can do in these situations.  Dennis would not allow us to crumble and fall. He will always be there to remind me of that fact. Thanks for the good times, Dennis!
