To my surrogate grandmother Virginia Mason and my aunt Valerie Veech.
Virginia Mason, or Oma as we called her, was a woman of many
accomplishments, from delivering babies in the Appalachian Mountains, to
playing basketball on one of the first University of Louisville women’s teams,
to serving as an army nurse in World War II. She lived quietly and privately,
but through her stories and service to her church she touched many lives.
Aunt Val was in many ways similar to Oma. She did many different things
to support her family, even owning her own franchise at one point and
working with the Sheriff’s department. After my mother died, she invited
us to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with them, and every year
she made my kids her grandkids and gave us all a place to call home.
When these wonderful women died, the outpouring of love at their
funerals amazed me, and I could only think how both were true
demonstrations of the power of servant leadership. I miss them every day.
