I am so sorry to here of Drew's passing. As one of my students, I remember him as a bright, thoughtful young man. This must be so hard. Our prayers are with you.
Psalm 13 has been a comfort to me through the darkest times in my life. May it be a comfort to you.
God bless,
John Voldrich

Drew,
I´m sorry we didn´t keep in touch more.
I´m sorry we can´t visit eachother - but I hope you know how thankful I am to have had you to help me get through one of my roughest patches of high school. Your smile and laugh were infectious, and you always knew just what to do or say in Government class when you could tell I was struggling. Cassie, you and me were three peas that truly made that class fun.
I hope you are at peace.
I hope your spirit can feel all the love everyone is sending out to you now.
I want your spirit to know I love you Peaches. All my memories will be nothing but fond - and I will think of you every time I listen to greatful dead, think of anything HS related, German related, or see Tye-Dye.
All my love and light,
Meg
