The Meyerland Middle School community came together this morning to mourn the loss of an eighth grader, James.

The teachers released doves and the students released balloons to honor his memory.

Our school’s guitar group played “Stand by Me” and the mariachi band played “Cien Años.”

Students offered heartfelt memories of James.

It’s the unimaginable. Like James, my oldest brother died at around the same age, and like James, it was a car accident that took his precious life. I know what their family is going through right now. My deepest condolences go out to them.

G-d bless their family and G-d bless James.

Please DM me if you’d like the family’s Zelle to help support them in this unimaginable time.
