| 00:05 | ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Lawyers in the House. With Montlick. Wish you had a lawyer in the family? Now you do. Here’s your host, Veronica Waters.
VERONICA: Hello and welcome to Lawyers in the House with Montlick, I’m Veronica Waters. So happy to be here with you for another extra special episode today. And when I say extra special, I really mean it. |
| 00:30 | VERONICA: I believe you’re going to love today’s show and all the guests we have with us. You know, for a lot of people, Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. But for many people, Memorial Day is actually much more than that. It’s an annual marking of a tragic ending. And today we’re here on Lawyers in the House with Montlick to talk about the real meaning of Memorial Day. And to do that, that’s where the extra special guests come in. |
| 01:01 | VERONICA: First, I want to reintroduce you to Montlick’s media director. You remember her, Melinda Jeffress, joining us. Good morning. Melinda.
MELINDA: Good morning, Veronica, thanks for having us. VERONICA: I’m so happy to have you here. You know, you and I have talked on this show before about, I mean, a couple of times, right? About like Montlick’s real commitment, earnest commitment to veterans and military and their families. And how much that is ingrained in sort of the fabric and the fiber of who Montlick is. |
| 01:34 | MELINDA: It is. And you know, we’ve been on this show several times, bringing in different military partners and talking about the different programs that we have, whether it’s honoring deserving military families, whether it’s helping the homeless veterans through Hope Atlanta. Whether it is surprising military families and providing them with a Christmas that they would have never been able to have and afford for their children. But the reason why we’re here today is something that is extremely special. |
| 02:02 | MELINDA: And it started over ten years ago, and it’s our commitment to our fallen heroes and to their families. And over the years, it stands out every year this time of year. The real reason why we’re here, and it’s not just about, as you said, the barbecues, going out on the lake, the Memorial Day sales. It’s so much more than that. It’s about remembering and honoring our fallen soldiers, those that have given the ultimate sacrifice, given their lives, protecting and serving our country and our freedom. |
| 02:35 | MELINDA: It’s about the families. We’re here today with the families because they live on and try to continue the legacy of their lost one.
VERONICA: I think that’s a great way that we can start to introduce two of our special guests today. Claire and Jimmy Whitlock are joining us. Thank you so much for being with us Claire and Jimmy. CLAIRE AND JIMMY: Thank you for having us. |
| 02:58 | VERONICA: They are going to be with us to open up their hearts and their memories about their loved one, who was lost in battle, serving America’s heartland. I might get a little emotional. And maybe you will too with me, but we’re all in this together. And Jimmy and Claire, before we start talking about your beloved son, tell me a little bit about the two of you. Tell me about your family. |
| 03:28 | JIMMY: You want to start?
CLAIRE: Well, we’ve been married 43 years. And we were blessed with our first son, just 9 and a half months after we got married. So we knew our union was going to be a good one. So we raised three sons, James the third, Nicholas, and then Robert. And then we have four wonderful grandchildren, Caitlin, Isla Claire, James the fourth and Hunter. |
| 03:59 | VERONICA: I love that. So that James Whitlock legacy keeps growing, huh?
CLAIRE: Yes. Four. VERONICA: You got four Jameses now in the family. CLAIRE: They all go by a different name, though. VERONICA: Oh, really? CLAIRE: Yeah. VERONICA: So what is number four? How does number four? CLAIRE: He goes by Wynn. It’s James Wyndell, and he goes by Wynn. VERONICA: I love it. I love it. So how do you feel being a granddad, Jimmy? JIMMY: Blessed. It’s just beyond anything I can describe. |
| 04:31 | JIMMY: And the love the kids have for me and I have for them. It’s special.
VERONICA: Truly wonderful. CLAIRE: Yeah. VERONICA: Now the son that the two of you lost, whom we’re going to be talking about today. Nicholas. CLAIRE: Yes. VERONICA: Tell me a little bit about Nicholas. CLAIRE: He was our middle son, he was kind of like the glue that kept us all together any time he would come home from college or whatever. |
| 05:00 | CLAIRE: Everybody was going, Nick’s coming home. Nick’s coming home. So he just added a lot of life to our family. And he was such a selfless person. So he always would ask, what do you want instead of telling you what he wanted. And he was a good listener. So he was just a very special young man to us all.
VERONICA: Now, Melinda met Jimmy and Claire at one of the many initiatives that Montlick supports throughout the year for veterans and their families. |
| 05:34 | VERONICA: Tell us about that, MJ.
MELINDA: So I met the Whitlocks at the fallen heroes of Georgia 5K, which is a race that was held annually in honor of the fallen soldiers all that had passed since 9/11. And I met Claire and Jimmy early on. I mean, Nick had just passed. And as we’ve talked about on this show before, that race is so special. Because again, just like Memorial Day, it’s that time where the families can come together. |
| 06:03 | MELINDA: There’re not many events held around for the families to come together and to embrace one another. And part of the race is about remembering the legacy of the fallen. The proceeds go to nonprofits and to organizations and scholarships started in honor of a fallen soldier. And you really understand the meaning. It’s not about winning. It’s not about your time. It’s not how you finish across the finish line. The race throughout is lined with signs of all of the fallen soldiers’ names and their pictures. |
| 06:34 | MELINDA: And what’s so moving is that the families are there and they’re standing by their son or daughter sign. And you get to show those families, thank you. Tell them, thank you. We appreciate that. And that happens the entire race route. People may think they’re going to win the race and they end up stopping and thanking and talking to every family. It’s just, it’s so special, and it’s one way that we can show our appreciation and support, but it’s another way for the community to be able to come together and also show these families how appreciative we are of the greatest sacrifice that their son or daughter made. |
| 07:08 | VERONICA: I do remember when we were talking about the Fallen Heroes race and Monica Pearson and Jenny Hardy with, you know – everyone knows Monica Pearson, media partner, and Jenny Hardy, who is a director of I Ride Safe with Montlick- we were talking exactly about how they… I don’t even know if they finish the race. I think I asked. I’m not sure if I got an answer, but they were constantly stopping and speaking to all the families because you have the pictures of them there, right? And so the families get to tell you their stories along the way. That’s got to be a beautiful, beautiful scene. And so you met Jimmy and Claire there. |
| 07:39 | MELINDA: I did. Very early on, and you know it was a moment where part of the reason why we wanted to do this show today is a lot of times people don’t know what to say. But just your presence and letting them know that you’re here and just saying thank you, we appreciate it, means so much. And so when I spoke with Jimmy and Claire the first time, it was hard. It was really hard to talk, if you remember, Jimmy. But we hugged, we embraced, we cried together. And it’s a connection in a moment that I’ll never forget. |
| 08:11 | VERONICA: Tell me a little bit about how important it feels to the two of you to have an event like that where you can come together with other gold star families.
CLAIRE: It’s an event that you don’t have to even know their name or even know their story. You just know that they had a loss like you did. And there’s a lot of embracing going on and … JIMMY: You see how they manage through life too and learn from that. |
| 08:41 | JIMMY: And you were talking about standing behind the pictures. I got more hugs and salutes, standing behind Nick’s picture on the course. It’s uplifting.
VERONICA: What did that feel like? JIMMY: Just inspiring. And even people that knew Nick would stop and tell me a little story about him. And that just makes your day. |
| 09:11 | VERONICA: You know, MJ, I said that we wanted to talk about the real meaning of Memorial Day. And we’re starting to get a glimpse into that here. We’re talking to families whose loved ones died in service, however that happened. But I know that for you and for Montlick, the way that you came to recognize the importance of Memorial Day has its own unique story.
MELINDA: You know, it does. As many know, Montlick supports military and many initiatives; and on July 4th, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, we air special commercials, |
| 09:42 | MELINDA: special billboards out there, honoring our service military men, women, and their families. And gosh, it has to be probably about 13 years ago. We had a spot airing on Memorial Day, and it was nice in tone; but it may have been not the right tone for Memorial Day. And a gentleman and dear friend of ours now, Robert Stokely, called the firm and left the message on our marketing media line and said, I appreciate what Montlick is doing and always have. |
| 10:12 | MELINDA: But I want you to understand the message might not be the right tone. And I was like, wow. So I picked up the phone and I called him. Number one, I thanked him. We always appreciate any feedback. And you know, for us, we’re helping clients, but we’re also here in the community. And we spoke for about an hour and a half. He told me Mike’s story. He had lost a son, Mike Stokely, and we talked about his story. And he… I will never forget this, but he said, so many people worry about the sales on Memorial Day. |
| 10:41 | MELINDA: That’s what people are advertising all over. I don’t want to have to go to a store with my son’s dog tags to get 15% off. I’d much rather have my son here. And that moment in that story, I was like… it changed the trajectory of what we were doing on Memorial Day. And then he invited… he’s the one who invited us to participate in the race, to sponsor the race. And when he called and said, hey, I have this race. I think you might want to check it out. I think Montlick might want to get involved. |
| 11:11 | MELINDA: We’ve never stopped. We’ve been there with our team members. We’ve had at one point over 80 team members and their families. We pay for their families to come. We make shirts. And we walk the race. We run the race. We’re there. We’re present, and we’re there to show these families. And it was that one call. That Mr. Stokely made and, you know, Mr. Montlick got involved too and reached out to him… and our commitment to the families, I think it means something to them to know that we’re really here and we really do care. |
| 11:43 | VERONICA: Talk about eye opening. And done in such a loving way. I imagine that the gold star families, maybe it’s not precisely a tight knit community. Maybe you don’t talk to each other all of the time. But that you, as you mentioned, you sort of share this really tragic and painful bond. Maybe a point of pride as well? |
| 12:11 | VERONICA: But it’s a club probably nobody really wants to be a member of, am I right?
CLAIRE: Correct. Yeah. VERONICA: What do you think is something that you have best shared? What’s a piece of advice or something that you’ve passed along to another family that you thought was really important and helpful? CLAIRE: Basically, when it first happens, it’s obviously gut wrenching. |
| 12:42 | CLAIRE: But as time goes on, and you start thinking about if your loved one was here with you, what would they say? They would say they want you to live the life you have. And so encouraging someone who’s lost a son or daughter more recently, to encourage them to hang in there that, you know, you’re not alone in this. And you will get through the gut-wrenching part and then you’ll start focusing on living the way that would honor them. |
| 13:24 | VERONICA: Coming up, we are going to focus on Jimmy and Claire Whitlock’s loved one, Captain Nicholas Whitlock. Stay with us. This is Lawyers in the House with Montlick.
You’re listening to our podcast, Lawyers in the House with Montlick. Join us 8 a.m. every Sunday if you want to listen live on 95.5 WSB. VERONICA: Welcome back to Lawyers in the House with Montlick on WSB. |
| 13:52 | VERONICA: I’m Veronica Waters here with some special guests talking about the real meaning of Memorial Day. I’m sitting here with Claire and Jimmy Whitlock who are joining us to talk about the fallen loved one in their life. 29-year-old Captain Nicholas Schade Whitlock. Jimmy, tell me a little bit about your middle son, Nick.
JIMMY: Okay. Born in our hometown, Newnan, Georgia, but we lived in Bedford, Texas, and Rome, Georgia, and made it back to Newnan, which is difficult to do. |
| 14:28 | JIMMY: Nick was an athlete. Any sport he could play it and excelled at it. He was a drummer. He is an artist. I’ve got paintings that he’s done. We’ve got him hanging on the wall. He was an eagle scout. He was a Newnan High School graduate. He was a Mercer University graduate. An MBA from University of Florida while deployed – a remote MBA. |
| 15:01 | JIMMY: And he was married to Ashley Odie for 15 months before the accident. He was not the biggest, not the smartest. But absolutely determined to succeed. He got a pilot slot in the air force the hard way. He wasn’t Air Force Academy. He wasn’t ROTC, but he was a leader. |
| 15:29 | JIMMY: He was able to interview and convince them. He was actually told he needed to be in the Marines. Because he was a leader. And he was encouraged not to go reserves, but to go full air force. And he got a pilot slot, went to Maxwell Air Force Base for officer training school, then went to Wichita Falls for the Euro NATO joint jet pilot training program. |
| 16:00 | JIMMY: He had an instructor that was Italian, and he flew with the Germans. And he was assigned… I don’t know, I think he volunteered for the special operations unit, and he was stationed in Fort Walton Beach, Florida at Herbert Field, and he was in the 34th Special Operations Squadron. |
| 16:25 | VERONICA: We are going to learn more about Captain Nicholas Schade and the way that he lived and the way that he left us coming up on Lawyers in the House with Montlick. More with Claire and Jimmy Whitlock talking about the real meaning of Memorial Day. I’m Veronica Waters. Stay with us.
You’re listening to our podcast, Lawyers in the House with Montlick. Join us 8 a.m. every Sunday on 95.5 WSB. |
| 16:54 | VERONICA: Welcome back to Lawyers in the House with Montlick, I’m Veronica Waters here with Claire and Jimmy Whitlock talking about their late son, air force captain Nicholas Schade Whitlock, who lost his life at the tender age of 29. And Nick would have turned 40 on his last birthday, which was the previous December, as we sit here today. Claire and Jimmy, I can’t help but to think that as proud as you were of your son, you’ve seen your biggest fear come true. |
| 17:29 | JIMMY: Yes, and we got our call the night of February the 18th, from Nick’s wife, Ashley, of 15 months. We lost our son. And our nation lost three other highly skilled airmen, Captain Ryan Hall, first lieutenant Justin Wilkins, and senior airman Julian Scholten, returning from a mission in support of Operation: Enduring Freedom. |
| 17:59 | JIMMY: The crash was in Djibouti, Africa. It was site 5. That was all Nick would ever tell me. The flight was Ratchet 33 in a U-28 special operations aircraft. Nick’s call sign was Hunter 87. And the air force really took great care of us. They had us to Dover, Delaware at the Fisher House, where we were with the other parents. |
| 18:31 | JIMMY: And Ashley was the only wife of the four. And we got to witness their return to the States, and everything was done with great honor and so we were well taken care of.
VERONICA: Nick was very careful to keep secret. He didn’t break the confidence. JIMMY: No, and it grieved him that I would ask. |
| 19:01 | VERONICA: And he was like, Dad, I can’t tell you.
JIMMY: No. He told me that the missions were worthwhile. That’s one thing I got out of him. CLAIRE: If you would just watch the news… VERONICA: That was a hint. JIMMY: Pay attention, yeah. VERONICA: That was a big hint. CLAIRE: Yeah. VERONICA: Tell me about getting that call. JIMMY: I fell to the floor. And I couldn’t tell Claire directly. Ashley had to tell her. CLAIRE: Yeah, he handed the phone to me and Ashley had to repeat it to me. |
| 19:31 | CLAIRE: And she said, there’s been an accident. And I said, okay, how bad? I’m an optimist. Yeah. She goes, he didn’t make it. And I said, what? I just couldn’t even… I couldn’t conceive that. And I just acted like a robot for a little while. So my parents, as only God would do, my parents were both with me. And with us. And I went out and I said, we’ve lost Nick. |
| 20:01 | CLAIRE: And they just were in shock, and we were at my sister’s in Florida. And all I could think about is my two boys in Newnan. And it was pouring rain. Really bad rain. And we threw everything in the car as quick as we could. My mother, instead of going home, came with us, and we drove home in the pouring rain. And the whole time we were driving, we would get text message after text message, we’re thinking about you. |
| 20:32 | CLAIRE: We’re praying for you. We’re doing… so unbelievable friends and family that were contacting us. When we got there, our pastor was there… we got there at four in the morning, our boys were there, Jimmy’s parents were there. And from that moment on, we never had a moment of being alone. People were with us all the time. The community just put yellow ribbons everywhere. |
| 21:02 | CLAIRE: And were coming to our house with food that we couldn’t eat for a year. Just so much outpouring of love and support for us. And at the funeral, the visitation, they flew… he flew into what now is Whitlock Field named after him… but they flew into the little airport when they brought him home. And after Dover and the long procession down 29, there were people lined up for miles holding flags. |
| 21:38 | CLAIRE: And they ended up bringing him to the church because the funeral home couldn’t hold him. And then we stood there for over 5 hours greeting people during the visitation. And the funeral was the next day and it was filled to capacity. We had overflow buildings and it was aired live so that the men in Djibouti that he had deployed with were able to be part of that. |
| 22:08 | CLAIRE: And just we just had… we still have so much support even 11 years later. We got something that Easter from a family that just said, we’re thinking about you this resurrection day because, you know, Easter is our hope. And so we just have so much support from our community, that it’s just been unbelievable. |
| 22:32 | VERONICA: I think we would be doing a disservice to people if we didn’t mention this airport renaming that is an incredible honor. Who is going to tell us about that?
CLAIRE: You can, Jimmy. JIMMY: It’s the Newnan-Coweta Airport, on the way to Moreland from Newnan. That was… well, there’s still the Newnan-Coweta Airport, but Whitlock field has been added. And there’s a plaque with Nick’s picture and some inscriptions. |
| 23:03 | JIMMY: He got his private pilot’s license there.
CLAIRE: Yeah. JIMMY: We wouldn’t let him go to Cancún on high school graduation. And so he started flying, right out of high school and every summer out of college he’d come back home and fly some more. He had 96 hours before he went into the air force. CLAIRE: Yeah. Yeah. VERONICA: It’s incredible. He was such a high achiever. He managed to talk himself, along with his skills, into a captain’s chair. |
| 23:35 | VERONICA: And he was a pilot as a very young man. And now this legacy of his lives on at the Coweta Newnan Airport, Whitlock field.
CLAIRE: Yes. VERONICA: I never knew that he was the Whitlock. CLAIRE: Yes. He is. And the air force guys that, before they retired, the ones that have, you know, some have retired, I guess, now. But they would do roundabouts from Fort Walton and land at the… JIMMY: Touch and go’s. CLAIRE: Touch and go’s. |
| 24:05 | CLAIRE: And a few times we got permission to take them out to dinner before they went back to Fort Walton. And so the air force family kept so close to us and still do. Just in touch with us and supporting us.
VERONICA: When we talk about Memorial Day and its real meaning, I find that people will say Happy Memorial Day. Which is seemingly the biggest oxymoron possible. |
| 24:35 | VERONICA: What say ye?
JIMMY: Happy freedom. And for all those that sacrificed. On behalf of our oldest son, James says, Memorial Day for Nick, Veterans Day was for me. He was in Baghdad. With the army, 17, 18 months. And so he served, so. |
| 25:03 | VERONICA: I think a lot of people do confuse Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Is that your experience too? Yeah.
JIMMY: Yes, it was. Now our Memorial Days are spent at a parade in Dacula, carrying pictures of the fallen since 9/11. VERONICA: Do you find that it’s hard for people to know what to say to you? CLAIRE: Oh, yes. JIMMY: Oh, yes. CLAIRE: But just presence is so important, just because by your presence, you show, hey, I care, you know? |
| 25:33 | CLAIRE: And that’s important. They don’t have to have magic words. There’s no comforting words, really.
VERONICA: There’s really nothing. Is there a wrong thing to say? CLAIRE: I wouldn’t say so. You know, people are… you know, their heart is to show their support and love to you. So really not any wrong words. JIMMY: And they’re, I guess, cautious about bringing him up, but that’s all I want to do is tell them about it. CLAIRE: Yeah. |
| 26:01 | VERONICA: Really? So people will say, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to mention it?
CLAIRE: Yeah yeah. JIMMY: No, they just… they won’t. VERONICA: They just won’t mention it at all. They’re afraid. CLAIRE: We do. Nick would have done this, or you know. VERONICA: You want to talk about him and… CLAIRE: Nick was like this, and then they go, oh, I didn’t know that you wanted to, you know, bring it up. Yeah, I want to bring it up. So… VERONICA: I can’t imagine whether this is a wound that ever starts to heal, does it start to heal? |
| 26:29 | VERONICA: Do you start to feel that it’s less fresh?
JIMMY: Going down that journey, Robert Stokely did share with me that… and he used the words, it’s time for me to go on living with the living. So he had 7 years on me there about. And we were, we were just wondering what tomorrow would bring. I mean, you’d wake up in the middle of the night… Is this real? And you knew it was real. |
| 26:58 | JIMMY: And I mean, you eventually lose that. And you just adapt. I went to work. And we worked really hard.
CLAIRE: We worked really hard not to memorialize him too much within our immediate family. VERONICA: What do you mean? |
| 27:18 | CLAIRE: We have so many gifts that were given to us of pictures and framed jerseys. You know, the high school framed his jersey and retired his jersey number and football and all these things. And we do have them out, but we have two sons and they’re very important and they’re grieving as well continually with us. And Nick is good at this point. |
| 27:49 | CLAIRE: And we wanted to be sure that we didn’t just focus on the loss, but that we focused on the family that we have that are living. And we purpose… we’ve been purposeful about an annual family vacation with our immediate family. And my siblings… I’m one of 5, and we go on an annual trip just us because we take so for granted that we’re all going to always be there. |
| 28:19 | CLAIRE: But we’re not all going to always be there. And if we lose someone, we wanted to have had the memories with them as well. So we are more determined to do certain things than we ever have been before. And so it’s important to continue living for the ones that are here with you. And who loved him as well. And honor him in that way. |
| 28:47 | VERONICA: So many people loved Nick.
CLAIRE: Yes. VERONICA: And they’re showing it in their own families. Tell me about this little slideshow on your phone, Claire. CLAIRE: Oh. Let me show you. We have had four little guys that have been named in memory of our Nicholas. One of them was just about 6 weeks after our loss. It’s… my niece was expecting at that time. |
| 29:14 | CLAIRE: And she was going to name her baby something else, but she asked permission. And his name is Nicholas Matthew. He was born on April 3rd, of 12. Benjamin Nicholas was his air force buddy, and… that named his son after Nicholas. Nicholas Edwards was… a college friend that lost his dad and Nick really ministered to him during that season and Chris named his son Nicholas Edward. We have Nicholas- James Nicholas Goodrum, who was Nick’s childhood friend, grew up across the street. |
| 29:48 | CLAIRE: Hunter Schade Whitlock is my grandson. Because of Nicholas’s call sign Hunter 87, they named him Hunter Schade. And so he was born just three years ago, and then the most recent is Nicholas Daniel, who was born last December. We were pulling for the tenth, but he was born the 9th.
VERONICA: So close. CLAIRE: Because that was Nick’s birthday. VERONICA: Nick’s birthday, December 10th. |
| 30:12 | CLAIRE: It just blesses me so much that we didn’t have grandchildren with Nicholas, but we, in a sense, have grandchildren with these others. So it’s a blessing.
VERONICA: This angel captain is now a godfather. CLAIRE: He is. VERONICA: Coming up more about the real meaning of Memorial Day and the Montlick closing argument. Don’t go away. You’re listening to our podcast, Lawyers in the House with Montlick. |
| 30:41 | If you want to listen to our radio show live, you can hear it every Sunday, 8 a.m. on 95.5 WSB.
VERONICA: Thanks for staying with us here on Lawyers in the House with Montlick. I’m Veronica Waters here with Montlick media director Melinda Jeffress and Claire and Jimmy Whitlock, the proud parents of the late air force captain Nicholas Schade Whitlock who lost his life in service to our great country. MJ, it’s time for the Montlick closing argument and the floor is yours. |
| 31:13 | MELINDA: Well, today is very special. And what we want to do is to remind everyone of what Memorial Day is and encourage them to take some time today or on Monday and just take a moment of silence of their own to think about those men and women that have lost their lives, protecting our beautiful country. But another way to get people involved is to encourage them to go to the website. Maybe there’s a way… We’re trying to get this race back up and running. Unfortunately, COVID kind of ended it. And the Whitlock’s and Stokely’s are trying to get the race back up and running. |
| 31:43 | MELINDA: And so there is a website FallenHeroesofGeorgia.com. And if you want to help in any way, whether it’s volunteer, give your time, potentially help fund getting the race back up and started. You can go to the website and learn more and give your information. And I would encourage everyone… If you want to do something, you want to give back, you don’t know a family directly, but you want to help… That’s a good way to help.
VERONICA: In such a great way, we’ve already heard from Claire and Jimmy about how to help gold star families themselves come together and really support each other. |
| 32:16 | VERONICA: Now, we did talk about the fact that the race helps fund scholarships and foundations in the names of these fallen veterans. Tell me about the Nicholas Whitlock Foundation.
CLAIRE: Well, it began pretty quickly. It was organized. It’s a 501c3 that was organized before the year ended. We lost him in February, and it was up and running by November. It was started by family and friends to honor Nick and to give back to the community that so molded him. |
| 32:47 | CLAIRE: And also, we give through this… through our foundation, we give scholarships for college, and people who have qualities like Nick did and leadership and integrity. Those are the candidates. And so there’s two scholarships- one’s from Mercer University and one is given to… by Newnan High School. And they’re both four-year scholarships. So…
VERONICA: Fantastic. CLAIRE: It’s wonderful. |
| 33:15 | VERONICA: So Jimmy, we would normally like to do a moment of silence in times like this. But in the radio, that’s kind of hard to do. So you have something special you want to send us home with.
JIMMY: I have a parent’s prayer. Our prayer is the loss of our son on this earth will not be wasted. May Nick’s memory live on, inspiring others to excellence through the example of his life. And that many will see who Nick followed and come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. |
| 33:47 | VERONICA: Thank you so much, Jimmy Whitlock, Claire Whitlock, Melinda Jeffress. I’m Veronica Waters. Remember, we may not know them all, but we owe them all. Have a good Memorial Day. I’m Veronica Waters.
