The Tower kids
Ben, Maddy and Sam cannot be summed up here. I’ve tried, and erased every effort. If you knew them, then you understand. They made this world a better place, each beautiful, intelligent, loving, and unique in such wonderful ways. I hope they made your lives better. And I’m sorry for those of you who never had the joy of meeting them. They were the best of me and more.
