A little over 10 years ago I walked into the Lehigh Senior ladies restroom and I about walked right into Stephanie White I told her I designed her son Stef'an's Legacy shirts, we printed 1,000's of them at his high school memorial tribute. We became friends through the pain of her losing her son.
Sean, my memories of him was when he was on rhe King of Kingz basketball team and he loved my son, Kyle always giving him hugs and high fives. Little did I know that his brother Dsean Archilles would become such an important person in my life. Sometimes, we don't even have to talk it's just being together that helps get us through. But, we do talk. Pretty much daily. I am very proud of the man he has become and the Dad he is to his daughter.
There are a few more young men in the video, Cole, Eli and even Jordan that work for me or have worked for me. I am really proud of them as well.
I guess there are no coincidences in this life. Our paths were meant to cross and to become family through the tragedy of what happened 10 years ago, July 25th, 2016.
I am really honored to have designed and printed for Stefan and Sean's families and tributes over the years. Even for tomorrow's Gala I designed for and we printed the posters. I have always stopped prayed 🙏 over all my work, and asked God to give me the clear vision of what Stefan and Sean would have wanted for themselves.
It's a difficult news piece to watch. However this is "Our Why" this is the reason we keep close to eachother.
