I’m so very sorry you and your family are hurting. My son told me Ethan was so so kind to him when my son transferred to East mid-year in 2018. Even though we do not know each other I have not stopped thinking about you. I’m so sorry you are going through this. Your son was kind to everyone…that is what I keep hearing from so many…he was good to all.
