Conor was a special student of mine during his elementary school years. He truly loved my teacher assistant, Mrs. Bills and missed her terribly when she was absent! I had the pleasure of watching him graduate from IU13 program and see what a handsome young man he became. My thoughts and prayers are with the Zeiset family. He holds a special place in our hearts.
