“I must admit I witnessed something quite unique in this event regarding the response and organizational support from the community. Very well done indeed!”

Dave Douglas

You can remember him and only that he is gone.  You can cherish his memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back. Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
