Reunion at a Funeral

There was a mini-IHHS Class of ’91 reunion at the funeral of Kyle Raaf today.
 
Our classmate, Erin, gave a moving eulogy for someone she described as “not just my big brother but my hero” and her stories of how Kyle had such a positive impact on so many people during his too-short 46 years was reflected in the hundreds who filled the Memorial Hall on a Wednesday afternoon to celebrate his life.
 
It was obviously a sad day but also a joyful one with lots of laughter as a group of friends who don’t see each other nearly enough reconnected, retold old stories, and were reminded of the importance of using whatever talents we’re given to make the world a better place for those around us.
