We came,
we conquered and we remembered all
our friends that day who have died
from AIDS and those living with
it. Thanks Stephanie.

Hi
Bob,
Every time I read that you had a
great day presenting at a school
my heart strings are just
touched beyond words. A man
with
tattoos who is not what one
would picture
educating students (old
school thought my friend not
mine;). You are an inspiration
my friend. Keep doing these good
works my friend.

I will keep you in my prayers
that all you do will help others.
I myself see you as a brave
and strong man on a mission
of love and peace. Education
for the youth of today is so
very important and the only
see what's in front of them.
May God be with you always my
brother, love and strength.
May God bless you!
Shaontra
