COT – Schrute shared a story about his younger sister unexpectedly passing 8 years ago and what he remembers about the first time he met her. He explained the first letter of the exercises both from the string of pearls and the beatdown spelled her name. The counts represent the years she has been gone (8 years) and her heavenly birthday (7/12/15). He tells a story about the first time he met her, when she came home from the hospital after being born when he was in kindergarten. He tells the PAX how her legacy is important to him, and to honor that legacy he has led a workout for the last 3 years. The butterfly has become a symbol for Rachel and why he asked PAX to wear the Butterfly Effect shirt.
He thanked the PAX for being there to help honor her legacy.
Schrute took the PAX out in prayer.
Aye – Schrute
