I will also like to take this time to remember our classmates that has passed on.
While we mourn their passing, we will indeed celebrate their lives.
 
Yuolanda Johnville, quiet personality with a slanting smile. She had such sincerity within her eyes. Gone but not forgotten!
 
Tisha Simon, sweet and caring personality. Always wearing a smile. Humbling spirit with much zeal. You are truly missed!
 
Melissa Stevens, with a winning smile and an amazing laugh. Such a petite frame with determination and drive. I could see her pursuing her dreams in entertainment. She was quite the princess. Gone too soon!
 
Rubio Smith, the life of the party. No doubt that if Rubio was with us now, he would beat out his sister Shurna Smith joining in on our 20th Reunion. He was handsome and poised. A true friend and classmate.We miss you!
 
Gemma Peltier, a smile that  made her very own eyes sparkle. A quiet and reserved individual. Rosemarie, her sister, was the talkative one. However, Gemma sat back and observed.A life taken oh too soon!
 
Lee Quetel, he kept to himself mostly. However, he could not escape my humor. He would chuckle at my silly jokes. Sometimes trying to dodge me in the hallways, knowing I would force him to speak.Truly a sweet human being. We know you're smiling!We smile just thinking about you!
 
To all  classmates that this message reaches let us bow our head in silence.Let us pray for their families asking that they be comforted in their absence.Praying for peace in a time of war.Praying also for ourselves and our family.Would you join me in a personal tribute of your own.Blessed are they who mourn.
