My heart is so full of sadness for the loss of a little boy I loved so much! For a school teacher there are children who stand out in your career, and, for me, Cyrus is one of those children. Cyrus had such a tender heart and shared his fears and pain, but also his joys, with me. He tried so hard at school, really wanting to learn to read and write, and to improve his speech and language skills. He did so well! I remember Cyrus being so meticulous in learning to print, and he was knowledgeable about animals. He was a child with such great potential. I used to tell him, "You are a smart boy and you can go to college if you work hard". He was so proud when his Mom came to make bannock for the kindergarten class. He had parents and siblings who loved him. Such a handsome and well groomed little boy. I have such fond and loving memories of him! To Carol and Henry, Angie,Tim,Trevor, Anita,Matthew and Joshua and other friends and family I want to express my sincere sympathy for the loss of a young man for whom we dreamed of a great life. May God give you peace, now as you mourn this tragic loss, and in the years to come. With my love, Jaqui Anderson former kindergarten teacher
