"The most helpful, loving, compassionate, romantic and happy young man ever. Without a care in the world other than to make others happy, to give his beautiful sister and all his friends enthusiastic hugs and smiles and to just love life, plants, animals and the universe. Dom, his pink shopping bag and his green photosynthetic car will be missed by all. Love, light and peace." Amy and Crystal
