I went to the funeral service of Nick Grandino today. I am a friend of his father Mario Granadino.The loss of this youngs mans life for what? Its hard for me to understand the mentality of the person who did this because there own life will be wasted in jail.There is no winning with killing because once it done the person is gone and you can't turn back the act of pulling the trigger and they must be sentenced to life in prison.From the the short interactions we had he was a respectful good looking full of life kid.This is so sad because he had everything going for him at this time A partner a child and a new relationship with his father Mario.When I was leaving the funeral center it really hit me when Mario said they really killed him.I feel for the families of both Nick and his parther.The service was good and I hope it brought some peace to the family and friends.Amen
