The HC Media family is a large one. Over the years, many have come through the Elm St. doors. Some stay for a long time, others for a short time, but everyone leaves their mark. It is with much sadness that I have to report that a person who left a very big mark, onetime Training Coordinator, Tiffany Begin-Stearns has passed. She was with us from 2015 to 2018, during a "golden era" in HC Media's history, and was beloved by everyone, staff and members alike. She was excellent at her job and her incredibly positive personality touched everyone she came into contact with. She was funny, silly and a great fit in the HC Media world. Personally, she was not just a coworker, but a treasured friend. She was with us in Pasadena for the first ACM "ninja" pose. She was there when we built a ridiculous parade float to carry an even more ridiculous giant bell. She was on hand to mock the living daylights out of me when I almost tore my finger off. She was there to answer phone calls in her "Elf on the Shelf" costume at Christmas. And she was there to help so many members and volunteers. Thankfully, once you become part of the HC Media family, you never truly leave. Tiffany came back for many parties, get togethers and celebrations, bringing her growing family with her. I'm very happy that she knew that we all kept her in high regard even after she was no longer with us. I think we all figured we'd be seeing her at our next Christmas party in a few months. Tiffany, you will be with us as long as there is an HC Media. We are all heartbroken and will miss you greatly. To her husband, Dwight, you are in our thoughts. Thank you for Sharing such a special person with us. To everyone in Haverhill who remembers Tiffany, keep her family in your thoughts. We've lost a great woman. If you'd like to remember her the way I always will, take a look at the Haverhill Journal episode she hosted way back in 2017.
