I know DeMorrio, we went to the same elementary school all the way to high school. No, we weren't best friends, but friends no doubt. He rode my mom's bus in elementary school and we shared most of the same teachers. He had an amazing smile and personality. We all reminisce on our younger days and remember the ones who left their mark. DeMorrio is one who you will always remember, even when you grow old. I am the type of person who holds every person I know close to my heart. Even if I haven't seen or heard from them in many years.(12 years in our case) Some may say I'm just too sensitive but that's okay. The news of his passing really broke my heart, but I know he is in a much better place. 

To his family, I pray that GOD keeps his hands on you all. Losing a loved one is never easy. To his close friends(Carlos and Quinton), keep your heads up. I know your pain all to well. Only time can help close the wounds. The scars from those wounds will never go away, but those scars are just the reminders of the memories you shared. You guys may not remember me but I remember you. I will keep you both in my prayers.

DeMorrio, I know you can hear me and i want you to know that I will forever hold you in my heart and if you don't mind, tell my other friends up there with you that I haven't forgotten them either.

May GOD be with you all!!
