I came across a great article recently in the News-Herald, a small newspaper that serves Northeast Ohio. David Lynch, former mayor of Euclid, Ohio, wrote a touching piece on forgiveness and referenced my reunion and public forgiveness of Eric Cropp (the pharmacist responsible for Emily’s fatal dose), which can be viewed in the sidebar of our site. He holds me up as an example others can strive for when thinking of forgiveness in their own lives. I am humbled and honored to have touched him and inspired the article. Please read it when you get a chance by clicking on the scanned image below.
