Tonya, although I did not know him, I feel for you and his family. Losing a child is the most painful thing any parent has to deal with. Please let your sister know I am thinking of her and your family during these trying times. Love to all of you, Agi

One thing I remember about Seth is he was the firsts student ever to write the words for our alma mater . He was a wonderful person raised by a wonderful family. Prayers for all of you. I know all about PTSD & other people just dont take it seriously. Time for a change. I will be donating to the organization and also share this for awareness.
Hugs and prayers to the entire family. May God be with you, and give you comfort, peace, and hope of the assurance that one day, death will be no more, tears will not be shed, where sickness, pain, affliction, and all evil will no longer be in our presence & our joy will be complete
