Dear Classmates,
This past year has been hard on us as we endured many hardships personally anywhere from loss and isolation, to our businesses suffering financially.
My own family suffered like yours. Two of my own close family members are both undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. I had a son loose his job. And still our family is divided by politics, allowing our differences to consume us, separate us and polarize us.
The stories are endless, not one person has come out like they were before but with hope we put one foot in front of the other and learned how to go about every day life once again.
We can do hard things with support from our family, friends and loved ones.
Over the past few years and recent weeks, we have lost several of our dear classmates. Please know each and every one of their lives, and their loved ones who have suffered loss, has not gone unnoticed by your friends and fellow classmates of Puyallup High School 1975.
Remembering our lost classmates and their lives clearly demonstrates our connectedness as humans and will continue to make us stronger.
From this day forward may we all do what matters most to all of us, reach out to one another. Make what matters count by rebuilding those ties that may have been slightly frayed.
Make every day count from here on out.
Your Class of 1975 Puyallup High School
