Our Board

Erin started this organization because at 17 years old she experienced a traumatic loss no one should have to go through. She lost her father to suicide. She remembers having to decide if she was going to go to therapy or put gas in her car some weeks. Erin doesn’t want other children to have that experience. She wants to be able to provide children the opportunity to have an amazing life after they have experienced such a traumatic event in their life. Children shouldn’t have to worry about paying for therapy when they are seeking help. Children are our future, they deserve to have the best opportunities available to them to be successful.

Jessica joined Together on Memories because losing loved ones is so hard, especially on children and teens. Jessica has lost several friends in high school and lacked the resources to learn how to deal with loss. She is hoping to bring that support to as many kids as possible to help them move forward in their lives.

Larry has been a member of the Waseca community since 1990. He has been married 31 years and has 4 children as well as 3 grand children. TOM is important to him because he has had multiple experiences with people suffering from the trauma of mental illness. If he can help ease the burden of someone’s trauma and help them to heal and cope, then it is all worthwhile.

Randy Splett joined Together on Memories because he believes in helping others become better. The second he heard about this organization he was drawn to it, he knew it was something he wanted to help grow. Mental health is so sensitive and becoming more apparent in our society. If we can help any child become their best self, we are all becoming better.
