Many of you know that my mom passed away recently at 92 years old.
I shared something on my personal page, but I wanted to say something here too.
My mom was the matriarch of a very big family. She was strong, resilient and incredibly well loved. Right up until the end, family and friends continued to show up for her — which says a lot about the life she lived.
Being the youngest of nine, I got my own version of Mom. But I learned a lot from her about strength, loyalty, hard work and taking care of the people around you.
I've spent more than 20 years trying to build Jim’s Gym around many of those same things — community, relationships and creating something that matters to people.
We don't always realize where the pieces of us come from until we stop and look back.
The matriarch has moved on, but she left her mark.
Rest easy, Mom. ❤️
