Clustered around their principal, embraced by friends and teachers, the students were silent but for the sobs. They were assembled to pay their respect to Jacovan Rashaud Savoie.

My dearest great-nephew. I hadn't seen you for a few years. Now that I see your beautiful face; it truly saddens me that you are gone. You look like your great- grandmother so much. The family will stay in my heart and in my prayers that God will embrace us all and give comfort to your mom most of all. I love you, rest in peace. Auntie

Although I did not know

Although I did not know Jacovan, my heart is definitely filled with grief and pain. This goes to show that death does not have a respect of person; age, gender, etc. From what I have observed, Jacovan was a nice, christian young man! Family and Kilgore High School are definitely in my prayers. Be strong in the Lord!
