Dexter, Missouri - Gaige Willems, 7th grade student at T. S. Hill Middle School, is wise beyond his years.  All of us are praying for Chase Morrison, his family, the driver, witnesses, friends, and the emergency personnel who are mourning the loss of an innocent child. No one can express in words the sadness we all feel.

Gaige and a few of his classmates were chatting and together they have asked that EVERYONE to wear purple on Tuesday to honor Chase, his friend and his classmate. He wants high school students, business people, middle school students, anyone and everyone to wear PURPLE!
