    Make A Difference Minute: Finding Light in the Darkness
    Jun 28 2026
    On this Make a Difference Minute, we continue our three-part series highlighting the family behind Aubrey's Love Foundation. After hearing from Aubrey’s dad, Allen, and her mom, Amy, today we hear from Aubrey’s sister, Abby. Abby shares what it was like in the days and months following the accident that claimed Aubrey’s life. She remembers wanting to be alone, but says her parents refused to let her face her grief in isolation. Looking back, she’s grateful they stayed by her side through one of the darkest seasons of her life. Abby says Aubrey’s Love Foundation gave her family something they desperately needed: purpose. By carrying on Aubrey’s legacy of kindness and service, they found a way to give Aubrey a voice while bringing hope to others. Today, Aubrey’s Love Foundation continues to award scholarships, support schools, invest in teachers, and meet needs throughout the community, ensuring Aubrey’s love continues to make a difference.

    Make A Difference Minute: Carrying Love Forward
    Jun 27 2026
    On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Amy Tucker as she shares how Aubrey's Love Foundation is continuing her daughter Aubrey’s legacy by investing in students, teachers, and families throughout Limestone County. In just a year and a half, the foundation has already made a meaningful impact. After awarding two scholarships in its first year, Aubrey’s Love has already presented six scholarships this year, with two more on the way. The foundation has also established the Light of Love Award at West Limestone, donated school supplies, provided teacher grants to help purchase classroom books and resources, and supplied 300 books to a school library. Amy says every opportunity to give back reflects the heart Aubrey had for serving others. While the foundation continues to look for ways to grow and increase its impact, its mission remains the same: to meet needs, encourage others, and continue spreading the love that Aubrey shared so freely.

    Make A Difference Minute: The Small Things Matter
    Jun 26 2026
    On this Make a Difference Minute, we're recognizing Aubrey's Love Foundation as Aubrey's dad, Allen Tucker, shares how his daughter's life continues to inspire others. After Aubrey's passing, her family invited those attending her funeral to write down memories in a memory box. What they discovered was both humbling and life changing. Time after time, people shared stories of small acts of kindness that Aubrey had never talked about. She bought someone a Coke. She quietly paid for a prescription when someone couldn't afford it. She gave from what little she had without expecting recognition. Those seemingly ordinary moments became extraordinary because they were done with love. Allen says those stories helped his family realize that it's often the smallest, most selfless acts that leave the greatest impact on people's lives.

  • Love Lives On: The Legacy of Aubrey

    Love Lives On: The Legacy of Aubrey
    Jun 26 2026
    So many stories deserve to be told because they remind us that love doesn’t end when someone is gone. On tonight's show, you’ll meet Allen, Amy, & Abby Tucker, founders of Aubrey's Love Foundation, as they share the life of their daughter & sister, Aubrey, and how they have turned unimaginable loss into a mission of hope, kindness, scholarships, and support for students and schools across North Alabama. This interview is especially personal to me. My childhood friend, Chad Collins, told me about Aubrey’s Love while he was battling the illness that would eventually take his life. He wanted me to help share this story. Tonight, I’m honored to do just that in his memory. I hope you’ll join us for this conversation about faith, family, resilience, and choosing to let love continue making a difference long after loss. Real stories. Real people. Real impact.

    Make A Difference Minute: No One Should Fight Alone
    Jun 25 2026
    On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Camden Reams from Scottsboro, Alabama, as he shares what life is really like living with type 1 diabetes. Camden says managing diabetes isn’t something he could imagine doing alone. The love and support of his parents, Jason and Estell, have helped him face the daily challenges that come with the disease. He also credits his school nurses, Sally Black & Mashara Mefford-Miller, for making sure he’s safe, helping him manage his blood sugar, and giving him the confidence to return to class and the football field. One of Camden’s most powerful reminders is that type 1 diabetes isn’t something to joke about. It’s a lifelong condition that requires constant attention, discipline, and support from the people around you. His story reminds us that while no one chooses their battles, no one should have to fight them alone. If you’d like to support Camden’s journey, visit GoFundMe and search “Help Camden Get Life Changing Diabetes Treatment.” This MADM is brought to you by Premier Structures, Inc., proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong.

    Make A Difference Minute: A Legacy that Saves Lives
    Jun 24 2026
    On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Julie Garner, founder of Project Yellow Light, as she shares the heartbreaking story that inspired a national movement for safe driving. In 2007, Julie's 16-year-old son, Hunter, was killed in a car crash. In the midst of unimaginable grief, Julie, her husband, and their daughter made the decision to honor Hunter's memory by helping protect other young drivers. What began as a family's response to tragedy has grown into Project Yellow Light, a nationwide campaign raising awareness about distracted driving. Julie says many young drivers simply don't realize how dangerous driving can be. Some even believe being able to text while driving makes them a "good driver." Her message is clear and simple: when you're behind the wheel, put the phone away and focus on driving. Because no text message, social media post, or notification is worth a life.

  • More Than Memory Loss: The Behavioral Reality of Alzheimer’s

    More Than Memory Loss: The Behavioral Reality of Alzheimer’s
    Jun 23 2026
    On this Make a Difference Minute, Dr. George T. Grossberg shares an important perspective on Alzheimer’s disease that many families don’t expect. While memory loss is often the most recognized symptom, behavioral changes like anxiety, irritability, paranoia, and even hallucinations can be just as common and often more challenging. These symptoms, known as Alzheimer’s-related psychosis, can deeply impact both the individual and their caregivers. Dr. Grossberg explains what these behaviors look like, why they happen, and why awareness is so important for families navigating this journey.
