What will we leave behind for those that keep on living after we die? This is one of the most significant questions we can ask ourselves. Some people leave behind savings for posterity. Others pass down family heirlooms or objects that were important to them in life. Some don’t leave anything behind but the memories that live on in the minds of their loved ones. Mitchell Whisenhunt, who died battling a genetic disorder called Marfan Syndrome, left his wife and daughter something special.
