We shared classes and corridors, friendships and fun, victories and defeats.  Though we may have never spoken, never shared a laugh, never celebrated together, we shared a common bond in the community of our Freeport Senior High School Class of 1969.  Now we must share the sorrow and loss of lives taken too soon.  To the families and friends of those remembered here, we offer our prayers, compassion, support and the knowledge that your loved ones, our friends, although absent from this world, are still in our memories.  And, they will continue to be an integral part of the commemoration of our class.
