Alex,
I think of you often, and you are a lodestar in my work. I often feel the threads of fate were sundered by your loss, and the world´s future turned darker to lose such an agent of change so early. Righteously angry,

Dear Willis Family:
Exactly a year ago I met your son on the youth trip in Nicaragua. His smile was honest and he was very kind to me. He had great passion for life and people. Though it was only for two weeks, I won't forget him. I know he didn't pass on without knowing the beauty of the world and feeling it's joy. I'm sure his life was full of love and many will miss him.
