Always, always admired [Laurel Delaney here} and have been inspired by Fred Smith, Founder and Chairman of FedEx.  He truly revolutionized the express delivery system and helped galvanize global trade.

The nonprofit I founded in 2015, Women Entrepreneurs Grow Global®, got its momentum from the sponsorship of FedEx in its early days and continues to receives support from FedEx as a Premier Sponsor.

Grateful but really sad that we lost such a great entrepreneur and at such a young age.  He taught me to never pay attention to others on your ideas.  Because if you think it's a good idea, go for it.  You can learn more where that comes from here.

RIP Fred.  Condolences to Fred's family, friends and all the wonderful FedEx employees.  Thinking of you all during this sad time. Truck on. Fly on.  Keep on delivering.
