IN THESE DANGEROUS TIMES WHERE THE WORLD IS RIPPING APART AT THE SEAMS
WE CAN LEARN FROM THOSE WHO STARE DEATH IN THE FACE EVERY DAY
BY REACHING OUT TO EACH OTHER AND BONDING AS A COMMUNITY, RATHER THAN HIDING FROM THE TERRORS OF LIFE. FORGET REGRET, OR LIFE IS YOURS TO MISS
– JONATHAN LARSON
1960-1996
