Your forever in my thoughts there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you and next year will be 10 years since I sat in a classroom with you at UCHS. I remember the hell you gave me but with that it made me a stronger person and going on 10 years I finally finished what you started for me and I finally have that peace of mind and closure...thank you major for everything you helped me with for inspiring me and for being my real life hero...R.I.P sir.
