This is very late but I just recently found out about this event, my older brother Alex, our other friend Juan myself Manny and Joshua would all hangout out. We lived across from each other for years. My mother later decided to move my brother and I away from the city because of the violence. Edwin was our childhood friend and I will always remember those times we hung out at his house or at his grandmas. He and josh would come to our house and scream "manny, Alex" and we would come out and play. Those childhood memories will forever be with me.

I am so sorry I feel so bad a year later I am finding out about this. My prayers and sympathy go out to his family. I will always remember Edwin. I had a dream about him a few days ago being in Nobel with him and the next day I found out about this. I wished I wouldve known I would have went to the funeral. He is in a better place now where God is taking care of him. My love and prayers will be with him and his family always.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
