He was so dedicated. He was very intellectual and we had many great conversations. We are heartbroken that his life was cut short, but are glad he had the honour of graduating with his degree and with hope of a bright future. Based on my conversations with him, I know the Lord has called him home to paradise. Nolan radiated joy and positivity, and we were all privileged to know him. - Posted by: Janice Jackson (Colleague and friend) on: Dec 03, 2017
