Re: Tragic loss to FIRST
Perhaps it is true that a light can be so bright that it can only burn for a brief time, casting its light in such a way that everyone is inspired to shine a little brighter, too.

This makes me very sad. When working with students and mentors, it is always my hope to watch them grow - forever. Mays will continue to grow in ways like the beautiful video that you put together for him, Mike. He will continue to burn brightly in the hearts of many.

My heart goes out to Mays' family, his FIRST family, and all of the students that he mentored, whether he knew it or not.
