My deepest condolences to Chris'family and friends. Chris moved to English in 5th grade and was in my class. We reconnected years later while we both worked at the Co Op and I enjoyed his company so much during the short time he stayed. As another creative empath we got along so well, he was so joyful. I'm so sad to hear of his passing.

When I look at this picture I see the shy, quiet and kind little boy I taught in Kindergarten. Sorry to hear of all his struggles. Hopefully now he is in a happier place.
