I remember going to school with him, and his sister Tierra as well. I studied him the times I saw him, or was in class with him. He was such a hard worker and he always pushed himself to do his absolute best. He worked very hard every day to make sure he graduated.. He had his mind set on it. I am sending out many prayers to Tierra and her family in this tragic time.. Remember there’s always a rainbow after the rain.
My heart goes out to Dawn, Mike and Tierra. Please know that you are thought of during this difficult time. There are no words that can be said to take away this grief this pain.I just want to let you know that I love you all very much. Anything Anytime don’t hesitate. I’m here
