Rex,Diane and Lauren,
So sorry to hear of Rex's passing. As his first grade teacher I have so many fond memories. Even way back then he was a little charmer. I see many of his wonderful qualities carried into adulthood. I am proud of his work with Clap Your Hands. May his memories live on in all the people whose lives he touched. You are in my prayers.
