Because I have a son who is soon to be attending his first year of college in the fall, this case caught my attention from the very beginning.
I saw a news interview with Gerald Smith's mother, Robin Hill, on the internet, and my heart just broke for her.
She was scheduled to accept his diploma in his honor tonight at the ISU commencement ceremony at the campus, the day before Mother's Day. However, in wake of this unfortunate tragedy, The university will award Smith his diploma posthumously.
Gerald Smith, 22, was an insurance and risk management major from Avon Indiana.
The family of Gerald Smith is in our hearts and thoughts this Mother's Day weekend.
Thank you, and brightest blessings )O(
