Comment of the day: Slain boy “always gave me a winning smile.”

I have known this young man since he was in elementary school. I always encouraged him to do his best in school and he in turn always gave me a winning smile along with a promise to do just that. He was a polite, respectful guy. This is a tragedy. My heart goes out to his family (especially his parents).”
