Angelo Dies

Angelo C, was a good man that never did any harm. He died yesterday in the shower over a severe asthma attack. The entire school cried and prayed for their old friend Angelo. They joined in a moment of silence at 2:55 pm to let Angelo know that we care.

He was a good kid that always made people laugh. He never went a day without giving that shining smile of his.

The halls are quite, and the only thing you can hear is God's breath joining us when we cry and pray. I know that Angelo would not want us to cry for him but nobody could help but be in histerics for their dear friend.

We love him and we hope he is looking over us. He needs to know that we care and that we love him. We all have made posters and drawings that we hung around the school. We miss him and we will never forget the smile he brought on our faces. Hopefully Angelo will listen and know that we care.

The entire school misses his ocean blue eyes and his sense of humor. His friends have decorated his locker with their signitures and drawings. We love him more than any thing in the entire world.

His friend Regis was histerical crying at lunch, and wants to let Angelo know that he loves and misses him.

***We love You***

I knew and miss Angelo. I knew all his friends, and I hope he never forgets us.I love and miss him. I was crying when I heard the terrible news.
