Thank you to those who nominated me for this inaugural issue of top influencers in the greater Lynchburg region! I am so grateful for the opportunities I’ve had in my 25 years in Lynchburg that allowed me to lead, give back and help shape this community where we live, work and play. And I am humbled to be among the cohort of leaders recognized here…and many more also deserving celebration and thanks.

Celebrating my sweet mom today on her 91st birthday! 🎉

I wrote “Happy 91!” on her card. She asked with sincere curiosity: “91 what?” Cheers to believing the years are irrelevant and the experiences and joy are what count! by @chvarner

Tonight will mark four years beyond this life. The disorientation of significant loss remains, yet we evolve and reinvent as life propels us forward. In the quiet, reflective moments, I see you in the butterflies, the cardinals, the brilliantly shining stars…and our beautiful children. You would be so proud - Julia and Will are resilient, strong, lovely people making their way in this world with your grounding wisdom and levity as a guide. We thank you for the world we created together and all that you gave. We will remember your love and profound impact always. ♥️ by @chvarner

@juliahvarner @willhvarner Your dad loved with with every ounce of his being! You are his pride and joy, his legacy. On Father's Day, always remember his deep love for you. And when you look in the mirror, see in you his wisdom, his laughter, his silliness, his curiosity, his compassion for others and his strength. ❤️ taken in Lynchburg, Virginia by @chvarner
