I thought about you today as I was looking at photos and texts. I am sure Mona, Rory and Sage think about you too. Today though, I think it was because I had too much time on my hands while waiting in my classroom. I am at Sugg now and life is good. I have some really great memories and laughs with you and of Greg when were were the 5th grade dream team. LOL Bonbucks would love to serve you a cup of coffee today and share how the kids are doing and all. Miss you a bunch. Your 1st work...

Missing you lots daddy. Hope your surfing all the waves in heaven. Missing the days when we would go to the beach together and when you would go fishing you'd come home so excited to show me the underwater videos you had gotten that day. I love you so much. Love, Sage (your little girl forever).

I miss Mr.Welch so deeply but now i know that he is truly in a better place. I had Mr.Welch through 2015 and half of 2016. It's 2017 now and i still miss him one of the most amazing times i had with him was when he would get off topic it was a funny time or lets just say every day. If you were sad he would ask you what was wrong and once you told him he would make you laugh . I love him so deeply. Rest in peace Mr.Welch.

I was one of his students and he was the best teacher I have ever had. Mr Welch told story's and just in general made school fun. Even in sixth grade he encouraged me and helped me. You will be missed Mr Welch
