One of the most beautiful inner sole human beings to ever belong on this earth. One of a kind who was truly to good to be true. It's hard to forget his smile and over all demeanor.
One wonders why such an intelligent personable human being who had so much to contribute to this world was taken from us so early in his life. Just a classmate of his but never could I ever forget his glowing personality and contribution to his peers.
