Yonder Damien Reyes

Last week, was a very sad week for the school of St. Mary of the Assumption, in Elizabeth, NJ, where my wife teaches and my son studies. On Monday the principal of the school, called all seniors to a meeting and with tears in her eyes, she told them that one of their peers passed away. This news was terrible for all of them. Most of them cried because they did not want to believe it. The classes for that day for the seniors students were canceled. Yonder Damien Reyes (rests in peace), was an 18 years old senior student. He was killed in a car accident and his girlfriend was severely injured. Yonder was a baseball start in New Jersey with a prominent future according to the “Start Ledger.” (from Monday 28, 2005)
We all attended to his funeral and viewing between Saturday and Sunday and it was very sad. His family is devastated. No words that came from us could comfort them. But I can say that he will be missed and he will be always remembered. Our prayers go to him,his mom, dad, and the rest of his family. (FG)
