We Miss You Britt!

This last Friday, Britt Dalley, a senior at SHS had a seizure while driving home.  He crashed into a house, but miraculously walked away with only a bitten tongue.  To find out what caused the seizure, they checked Britt out and found a brain tumor.  While in surgery a few days later, the large egg-sized tumor was completely removed, but Britt had a stroke during the surgery.  On Tuesday night, Britt had another stroke, and yesterday afternoon, he passed away.  Within a week, we were all reminded how short and precious our time on earth is.  Although I don't believe I ever talked with Britt personally, we knew many of the same people, and he touched many lives.  Last night a prayer meeting was held.  It was first intended for praying that Britt would get better, but turned into a meeting for everybody to unite and to remember Britt.  At school, many people wore their Sunday best to show love and respect for Britt.  It never ceases to amaze me how much one person means to so many people.  Our love and prayers go out to the Dalley family, and Britt will be very missed!
