Although we never met, I heard so many wonderful stories about DJ and saw his beautiful smile in the pictures his proud mom shared.

D.J. Just like so many of us, I was lucky enough to get to know you a little. I got to assist in taking you to your bus at the end of your school day and push the button to send you up with the bus lift. You had a special friend who insisted on escorting you just about every day. I truly enjoyed getting to help you with your concert, though both of us jumped when the first drumbeat sounded! I will forever remember your big smile whenever your part was up. Coincidentally, you were born where my oldest kid was born in 1990. You were both B.A.C.H babies.
