"People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad." ~Marcel Proust
Last night.. Sheldon Harmon, one of the sweetest, funniest people I have ever had the opportunity to know, was killed last night. He is the first person in my graduating class to have passed. Not only was he a good person, but he was just not someone it should have happened to (not that I think anything bad should happen to anyone.. he just never did anything wrong and treated everyone with respect). He will be missed, very much. And Sheldon, save me a seat up there!
I graduated from a small high school in western NY. My graduating class had 70 people in it. It was difficult not to get to know someone. Sheldon and I had a lot of classes together. Everyday he would write me a note, wishing me a good day and save me a seat. He was funny in a dorky way. He could make anyone laugh... and while some people didn't like each other, there was not one person who disliked Sheldon. He was so kind.
Last night he was driving to his girlfriends house, taking a back road. Two guys were drag racing. The guy who was on the wrong side of the road hit Sheldon head on, they both died instantly. Sheldon was one mile away from his girlfriends house. I want to send my love to his family, friends and especially his brother, Shannon. Shannon was his best friend. Equally as kind as Sheldon.
I'm thinking about you all and I hope everyone is getting through this okay.
Rest in Peace, Sheldon Harmon. You will be missed
