Last night, three of our trainers were shot in the mass shooting in the Oregon District. While two are expected to make a full recovery, we are absolutely heart broken to report that the third, Nicholas Cumer, was killed in this senseless act of violence. Nick was one week away from completing his internship at Maple Tree, before graduating with his Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from St Francis University in Pennsylvania. Just last week, we offered him a full time po...sition with us to run one of our new offices.
Nick is remembered for his hard work and dedication to Maple Tree. He loved his patients and served them well, with a loving and caring spirit. He continuously went above and beyond our expectations and worked with a high level of excellence. He was well liked and respected by everyone on our team, and we all will miss him very much.
In order to give our staff time to grieve, we will close all Maple Tree offices next week, and will reopen at 8:00 am on Monday, August 12, 2019.
Please join us in praying for the families who lost loved ones last night, as well as those who were injured. Jesus doesn’t promise us a world without troubles, but He does promise to be with us when troubles arise. We trust that even in the wake of great tragedy, He is working all things for the good. That is why we ask you to take a moment today to appreciate the gifts this life has to offer. Be present. Smile at a stranger. Do a random act of kindness. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21).
