Community steps up to support grieving family February 20, 2016, 7:46 pmSince the end of January, many acts of kindness have been shown to the Tenney family by: someone suggesting on Facebook to buy gift cards at Tenney's Pizza to support them during this hard time, making dinners, decorating the yard with hearts and messages, putting pink ribbons up throughout the neighborhood, donating teddy bears, dropping off flowers, treats, and a Lindon company making a charm with Brighty's handwritten name, and many more. "It is unbelievable how many people have reached out to us during this very difficult time. If we didn't have this support system we would be having a much more difficult time," says Kevin Tenney. The Tenney family has since started the Facebook page "Brighton A Day". On this page it says, "This page was created to honor Brighton Tenney and to make a commitment to "Brighton a Day." We would love for people to share things they have done or have had done for them to "Brighton a Day." The goal is for people to do one thing a day for someone to make their day better. If we had a group of people making this commitment, how much better would this world be? On these posts use the hashtag: #brightonaday." "I just want to say thank you for grieving with us. Thank you for taking time out of your day to make our day better," says Tenney. The capacity to care does indeed add more meaning to life.
