Attended and graduated with Stefan. I am sorry to hear of the loss of Stefan. Still processing it. I will miss that smile of his. Even when I was in a grumpy mood coming down the hallway to class, he would give me that bright smile and say something to razz me. It was hard to be grumpy around Stefan. Blessings be to Stefan and his family. He's making a great Angel, for sure.
