There isn't a way anyone could understand how you must feel during this time of loss. We all hope you can get the answers you long for. Your family, friends, and the kids of Calhan High School are in the prayers of many. Our daughter is a senior at Calhan High School and like all kids in a small school, she too knew Michael. We are so sorry.
