• “It’s certainly all about connection, being able to realize that you’re not alone.” - Diane Stortz
• “You can be very supportive of what your children are doing and be very supportive of missions and be happy about what the results are going to be of that - and yet absolutely not want them to go…  You can feel both of those things at the same time.” - Diane Stortz
• “It’s wise to take time to deal with the grief and the sad feelings, but also take time to enjoy life and to celebrate what’s good about this.” - Cheryl Savageau
• Parents of Global Workers Facebook Group
• “We’re going to stay a family. We’re not leaving you. Our relationship will be changed, but we’re committed and making a plan.” - Cheryl Savageau
