My class was about 550, but not all that I listed were the same grade either. My friend who was murdered went to a different school, but I kind of just group all my friends together without regard to what school, grad class, etc. The thing is, I learned early on that I was not immortal and that death could happen anytime, anywhere. It's kind of freeing, really- teaches you to plan for the future, but live in the now. I'm sad that my friends missed out on so many life events, and I think I am way more appreciative of all that I am and have due to such early losses.
