I would like the memory of me to be a happy one. I would like to leave an after glow of smiles when day is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave behind when day is done. Julien Collot October 15, 2002 – January 21, 2011

Set to David Cook’s, “Permanent,” is this video I originally put together in honor of a little boy, Julien Collot, who was battling Leukemia. Young Julien succumbed to the disease on January 21, 2011. He’s was an incredibly courageous young boy and an inspiration to anyone who met him. In this video, taped on March 14, 2009, Julien is seen visiting a St. Baldrick’s Day fundraiser which was held in Chatham, New Jersey, at the Chatham Fire Department Headquarters. The event raised over $37,000 for the Saint Baldrick’s Foundation…. We will never forget little Julien…
