River Oaks Elementary School
As I glanced through the Houston Chronicle, I sometimes decide to breeze through obituaries, you know…just in case…Hoping to never see a name or picture of anyone that I know. Then, I saw Wynn’s picture.
Wynn and I went to River Oaks Elementary School together and lost touch, as most of us do, after that illustrious elementary school experience. I myself, being 37 years old, cannot fathom that he is gone at such a young age. Even in elementary school, I remember Wynn for that quick wit, soft-spoken heart, and being an overall really nice person, smart kid.
I do distinctly remember that I knew that I would never forget a guy named Wynn, because being bused to River Oaks from a not so good neighborhood, he was the only “Wynn” that I had ever known. Who would have guess that when I saw that name in the Houston Chronicle, it would bring back vivid memories of River Oaks. Even as elementary school kids, I never remember anyone making fun of Wynn because of his leg, because he was just one of “us”.
To the family – May the memories of Wynn always bring you joy and comfort. In times of grief, say a small prayer to yourself that Wynn is in a better place and laugh about some good times.
God Bless You!
