You know the truth.... Not only are there many immature
people on this planet, education is highly political.
And...when money is concerned history has shown us that the
ugly side of humans emerge. So, be bigger than the creep

I'm sorry for your loss. Just remember, they lost more than
you did. They lost a piece of themselves.
