Today is a hard day for anyone who grieves the loss of one so young - lost so tragically. I can only imagine the depth of his family's sorrow. His passing was felt by all who knew him, including my son, his friend, and my husband, one of his football coaches. Just know that, although he did not stay long, it was long enough to touch the lives of many and he will never fade from our memories. - Posted by: Danielle Paquette (Mother of a friend) on: Feb 13, 2015
