Please accept my utmost condolences. Wendy and I dated during our Junior year at LCHS as she was the first girl to look in my direction. Needless to say, her inner and outer beauty prompted an immediate response.
It has been decades since seeing Wendy, but she has and always will remain in my heart with the fondest memories.
RIP to my first love.
