One day there will appear a light, that will remind you of the love and friendship we shared. When that day comes rest assured, there will be peace in your heart and all the distant memories will become clear and new again. We will embrace and share each others’ laughter, joy and happiness once again and realize that our paths were destined to cross on the earth so that we could live, for eternity in heaven.

Don’t ever be afraid to stand up in the face of a challenge, your fear should be your motivator. Your hurt should be the fire that drives you to do better, strive harder and love stronger. Where once you were grounded, now you will fly.

November 11th marked the last football game of the season for the Kerman Lions; the game was played at Washington Union High School in Easton. The rain was really coming down for most of the JV game and the beginning of the Varsity game. Despite this the Lions had a great showing of fans who were as always very supportive of their school. The rain began to break away in time for the Varsity half time.

To our surprise the Washington Union cheerleaders began a quiet march across the football field carrying this beautiful sign. “Our heart goes out to Snowden’s family & friends” the moment was very touching as the message clearly showed their kindness and concern for all who were affected by Lynn’s passing. Lynn’s brother Reno Ochoa greeted the Washington Union cheerleaders with hugs and cheer squads from both schools took photos with the banner.

This moment is an example of how violence affects many people in different communities; the camaraderie of both schools on the football field was clearly evident in this moment. The bonds formed between people are constant despite friendly competition on the football field or in a wrestling match. We were very grateful for this tribute in that moment he was there with everyone at one of the places he loved most, the football field.

 

The Love Could Be Felt In The Whole Stadium

Washington Union High School went on to become the 2011 state CIF Division III state champions, after the 21-16 win over Campolindo on Dec 17th, 2011.
