Where do I begin ... 43 years and it is as difficult some days as it was that night in 1979. Your life was so much more than that fateful night. You had so much more of life to live.
No one was as selfless as you. You were always the strongest, smartest, most driven and beyond committed to family, education, career and community. Despite all of your accomplishments, accolades, education, awards, citations and endless admiration of others, you were humble . There was so much more for you to do.You have never been forgotten. Nor, will you ever be forgotten
