CJ, your emptiness is felt all over. See you again soon.
The whole Mardela High School community mourns this loss. What a hero.
What a fine young man, always had a smile or something nice to say when he met you in the halls of the Civic Center. He will be missed by those who knew him and worked with him.
God Bless his family, friends and co-workers.
God will love his heart. So sorry for his family. Please know our hearts go out to you. What a great man you have brought in to this world. I wish I could take your pain.map
CJ, I never knew you but wish I had. God Bless your loved ones.
