View all 47 ReflectionsClass of 10/87, I will never forget you Beyea, we shared some good memories. I knew something was wrong, all night I could not sleep. The next day the watch commander informed me of what happened and I was lost for words, It was like a bad dream. I cried for days and the class wanted to quit we were all devastated to say the least. You are loved and you will never be forgotten. I will always cherish the last conversation we had, it means so much too me. You are the best.
