“

...time flies, but memories last forever. Today, I was thinking about my past years and you came into my mind old friend. I still remember when we first met, playing basketball during recess and lunchtime at Stephen White Middle School and continued to do so during our Narbonne High School days, class of 98!!!! I still remember how you would like to joke around, especially in Physics class and would always call me by my last name. Time went on and we went our separate ways in college. It was a sad moment in many people's lives when I found out about your passing (from Jamie, BEAST!!), especially in your funeral. From then on, I learned that life is to precious to take for granted. Many of us appreciate your ultimate sacrifice Edgar. Your sudden passing influenced us in many ways and it opened my eyes to always strive more in life. Thank you for the fond memories pare!!
