I just read all of the “Gone but not Forgotten Classmates” obituary’s and looking at the dates so many were so young when they died and so many different causes and it really puts life into perspective.   Here we are living each day, not truly knowing when this day will be our last or what is to come.  So, we should treasure each day, live it in love and compassion for others, never taking life, family, friends, God for granted.
