Michigan LGBTQ Remember 
I had the pleasure of knowing Stuart as a classmate at Stuyvesant
High School. Although we did not hang out beyond school hours,
I was with him enough to recognize his beautiful, gentle soul.
We were in French class together, and I’ll always remember his
beautiful voice saying “je m’appelle George” with that wonderful
‘zh’ sound where the g’s are. When I received newsletters from
the school, I often looked to see any news about him and a few
others I knew. Rest in peace, dear George. I know heaven will
be a better place for your arrival…
