I was in Mr. Ondus' homeroom/theology class my sophmore year at AWHS - he was a good teacher and well liked! I'm sorry to his family and friends for your loss, I am thinking of you.

I was shocked and saddened today learning of the passing of my high school friend, Joe. We sang our hearts out in Concert Choir and now he can sing sitting next to our Lord. Joe, you always made me laugh and I hope in some small way I did the same for you. May you be blessed with eternal peace and forever be wrapped in God's arms. Goodbye my friend.

It is difficult to express the great void losing Joe in the AWHS community has created. Our hearts are heavy. His unique spirit cannot be replaced.
And so, I cannot begin to imagine how great a loss the leaving of Joe from this earth so soon must be for his family. My prayers are with them that their memories of happier days with Joe may help them through this difficult time.
Joe, you must have been needed in heaven. We miss you.
