In Memory of All Those Who Died to Soon

I don't quite know how to begin this post, perhaps because I am still in shock. On Monday, I found out that a friend of mine was found dead in his apartment on Friday. A friend of mine, who would have started as a third year this year at the University of Chicago, was found dead. David, the friend, and I were not especially close, although we conversed on a regular basis. He chanted Torah for my naming ceremony. He a kind, gentle, soft-spoken person, but that did not detract from his determination. I am writing a letter to his family, which I hope to send soon.

This post in memory of those who have died too soon, including:
David Stein
Elizabeth Comer
Zac Polaski
Melody Jackson

May their memories be for blessing.
