T here is the guest book where we can leave our respect for a fallen American hero. Please ping your list. The family was denied their request by a school official to allow his friends their last respects.
GeorgieBushie writes: "Mr. Fonseca was a graduate (class of 2003) of Sprayberry High School. The funeral procession was planned to go by Sprayberry at 10:25am and pause for a few moments in front of his old high school. Principal Susan Galante, acting on orders from higher-up's, did not allow students to go outside and pay their respects to their former student, friend and fallen soldier, citing a rule that banned more than one school function per day. (A pep rally was scheduled for later in the afternoon).
There were no announcements to the student to alert them that the procession was passing or to give them the opportunity to pay their respects other than a few teachers and coaches (2 or 3 teachers) alerting their individual students that the procession was heading by the school and allowing them to go outside."
