The Nazareth community has for the third time lost a high school student to cancer when 16 year old junior Andrew Millheim passed away this week at Lehigh Valley Hospital according to an article in the Express-Times (read it here).
In the article his father, Gary, is quoted, "He had a very, very rare form of cancer, a very aggressive form."
Also quoted is Doug Sheriff, who runs Angel34, a non-profit organization located in Bushkill Township that conducts programs for youths with cancer (you can visit Angel34's web site for more information).
Sheriff said, " "When I got the call tears welled up in my eyes. He was a bright kid. He was loved by a lot of kids."
One of Angel34's programs is providing a garden plot, and Andrew left seeds for Doug so his plot could be finished (you can also support this program by donating money and time through the Angel34 web site).
