Another classmate from NHS that is gone way too soon. While our reunions always seemed to be when you were traveling or in FL, you weren't forgotten. I personally enjoyed chatting with you around all the reunions as I got to know another classmate that I didn't know while in school. However, I see it was too long between the hellos. Happy your family & friends will have many memories to comfort them in the years to come as they remember you. RIP my classmate.
