In Memory of

Class of 1992
Date of Passing Unknown

We planted a tree and commemorated a plaque with a poem for him in the courtyard. We also tied balloons to our chairs and had a moment of silence before we released them in his honor during graduation.Shane died when we were in 5th grade. We invited his parents to what would have been his graduation, and provided them with what would have been his senior yearbook with his name engraved on it. He died before his time was supposed to be up and forced us to deal with death before we were ready to. But as young as we were, we seemed to be ready to handle it. As principal Hunter always said about us, we were a class, with class. Whenever I pull my yearbook out, he's the first one I think of. And I think of his parents second. I don't remember much about his parents but I remember his mother hugging me and telling me that "I'm sure he's in a better place watching over all of us." I'm sure we all have our different memories of shane, but we should carry them with us forever.
