our cover: PC LEGACIES Legacies — Families Shaping Parker County By Marsha Brown, Misty Browning, Mel Rhodes, Kristina Reilly and Melissa Moorman 6 Most of us want to leave this earth a better place than it was when we were born into it. What will people remember about you when you leave this life? The most influential people are the ones who leave behind legacies so profound that they live on in the hearts of the people whose lives they touched and they’ll be remem- bered by people they never met, people born long after they left this life.  Their principles, philosophies and achievements will be passed down from generation to generation. The families PCT profiled in this article are busy making their mark on the world today by driving themselves and their families to greatness.  They have all have taken control of their destiny, and will leave behind an inspiring legacy for generations to come. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” These families are busy following the later part of Frank- lin’s advice, while we at PCT are diligently working to follow the first part.
