When Grayson talked about trains, his eyes lit up like a station at rush hour. His lifelong fascination with locomotives became the heart of his My Legacy project—a tribute not just to trains, but to the family he treasures.
Grayson shared his favorite stories and memories with Lifesong volunteers Ashlyn Masters-Jones, Samantha Bacher and Mary Trexler, who worked closely with him to bring those moments to life. The team created custom, hand-decorated train whistles for his loved ones, each one paired with a written memory or personal quote from Grayson himself.
Also supporting the project were volunteers Aghabi Jacob and Bill Halcovage, part of a new collaboration between Lifesong and Cedar Crest College’s Occupational Therapy Doctoral program. This partnership introduced OT students to legacy work with Lifesong patients—bringing fresh energy, creativity and deeper meaning to projects like Grayson’s.
It was a heartfelt, whistle-worthy tribute to a man whose stories keep rolling strong.
