One Year Later – Grateful & Thankful

Amazingly, it’s been a year since the pandemic began.  I remember closing our offices on March 12th, one day prior to the very apropos Friday the 13th! Just as amazingly, the clock and the calendar simultaneously and equally slowed to a tedious crawl and sped to an unsustainable blur.  March 12, 2020 put us on a path of the unknown and required all of us to test our limits, physically and mentally.  It required us all to deal with the present and the future, personally and professionally, while navigating the incredible challenges and toll the pandemic was taking on our family, our community, our country and our world.

Today I am taking a moment to reflect on the enormity of the past year.  The enormity of the challenges, the losses and the sacrifice.  Equally, the enormity of the response to those challenges.  The positivity, the dedication, and the American spirit of moving forward, while navigating our daily challenges.  As I reflect I want to thank all of our Sentry Commercial family, our clients, our colleagues and our community for the monumental effort you have given over the past year.  I am grateful and thankful for all you have done.  I know it was, and is, not easy.  I equally realize that we have a ways to go to end this pandemic, so I thank you for the same effort and spirit as we navigate out of these challenging times.

We are most definitely headed for better times.  Thank you all for providing us that opportunity.

Grateful & Thankful,

Mark
