I was only a young adult when I heard of your passing and was saddened then. I remember how approachable you were when I would be out at the local arcade and remember vividly the night that you worked my first car wreck.
You came to my mind this morning even though I did barely know you which led me to see this memorial. Still feel sadness and pray that your family has done well!
