Destiny was a student of mine at Buckeye Community School-Marion. One of my happiest moments with Destiny was being able to tell her she had just completed all graduation requirements! On behalf of all BCS-staff, I offer my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences and hope that the cherished moments you shared will bring you some comfort.
