Thank you Edik,
For sharing this difficult news with such grace. We were allowed a
glimpse into the life of a wonderful young man. His smile and his
unashamed beauty charmed us all for years. It is always a tragedy when
one so young is taken from us. He will be missed. My thoughts go out
to his friend and family.
