Somber Saturday

Two weeks ago while Scott was in Orlando, one of our students was killed in a car wreck in Lower Valley. On the Wednesday after his death we held a memorial service at the college and yesterday was his funeral. Scott gave a brief speech at the funeral service on behalf of the college and several of the students in attendance went up with him to represent ICCI. We often jokingly complain about the stupidity of drivers in Cayman particularly the young ones who speed around in their cars like they are immortal. Yesterday was a stark reminder that no one is immortal and having such a feeling is just not reality. It was a difficult Saturday afternoon and burying a student is something we hope to never have to go through again.
