I pray for peace and comfort for your friends and family. I only knew you from the center from several years ago, but remember you always being kind, gentle, and accepting, as if you had found peace early in life. You were always polite and such good manners, treating others with kindness.
Rest In Peace Zep. You were one of a kind and this world would be a better place if there were more people like you in it.
