Remembering AudelizI knew Audeliz Hernandez-Pena in 1962 and 1963 when we were at St. Michael's in Hopewell, New Jersey. He was a young teen when I knew him, handsome and full of life. What I remember most about Audeliz is his wavy, jet black hair, his warm smile, and his playful personality. St. Michael's was a Catholic orphanage and school. I was there a couple of years, but Audeliz had lived there from the time he was a young boy. Almost all his life spent within an orphanage with nuns, and yet he never complained. He always smiled; he was always positive. Within just a couple years of leaving St. Michael's, while serving his country as an Army private, he was killed in combat in South Vietnam. Audeliz was a vibrant soul who deserved a long, full life, more than 20 years. I'm glad I can leave a Memorial for my friend so others will know that he left an impression.
Rest in peace, Audeliz. 11 Apr 2005 Audeliz, Thinking of you, dear friend, on the anniversary of your passing. Rest in peace!
