Tei’ was loved by many.
Tei’Quawm’s life may seem short to many, but to those who were touched by him understand that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. He will forever be adored.
A true hero isn’t measured by the size of
his strength, but by the strength of his heart.
