Thoughts
"....I just want people to know that he wasn't doing something stupid, or that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He wasn't in some kind of argument.
He was doing the right thing when it happened."
Saying by Emily Scholz on 01/24/2014
I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland

So unfair that such a brave, loving person was taken way too soon. Many wishes of comfort to those he left behind.
