I miss Stas. I miss talking to him, i miss seeing him in the halls, i miss having him in class, i miss him making making fun of me for not understanding something, and then his kindly helping me to understand it. I wish i had gotten to know him better and gotten to tell him how much i was fond of not only his intelligence, but of his kind and welcoming heart, wacky sense of humor (which i did not understand most of the time), unique opinions and outspokeness, passion for learning, and great enthusiasm for life.
He will Always be alive in my heart and my thoughts, and in my prayers. RIP
