As the hours of 2015 wind down, it’s only right to recall just a few of the North Texans who passed away this past year. Some were native-born and others “got here as soon as they could.” While their lives came to an end, their countless kindnesses, accomplishments, philanthropy and contributions to the community and world will live on as inspirations for others to continue on.
Whether it was their memorable smiles, their contagious personalities, their wisdom or just their special aura, there was just something about them that blessed their families, friends and even strangers.
Some of those, whom we have lost include:
