For all the Romstedt family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I will always remember Beau when he was in 6th grade and I intervened on his behalf when I felt a staff member had been too gruff with him. As an adult, Beau was such a light to those around him, had such vitality and so much to look forward to. His loss will be keenly and deeply felt by all those who knew him. I am so sorry for all of you. This is a great loss.
