Marilyn--

We are very saddened by Serjei's tragic passing. He was a wonderful young man and we enjoyed watching him grow up as a good friend of our son, Mark. We will remember him and you in our prayers.

February 1, 2013

I can't believe such a wonderful soul was taken so soon. Serjei was a type of person for which there is no word - special, kind, generous, fun, loyal - nothing can describe him. So sad his story ended this way. RIP Serj

Dear Marilyn, Caroline, Adam and Justin,
My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time. It was shared with me that Serjei provided the glue and made the five sided morning glory flower shine. When I met him he did just that, he seemed to play the point on the starfish team.
Marilyn and all, please know that you have my deepest condolences, Cliff
