I use to babysit Mylz when he lived on Hanover Rd. he had a pair of superman pajama’s and he told me he was going to save me from monsters. Well 20+ years later, I found myself in a domestic situation and Mylz and my brother saved me. So yep he is my super hero. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, and may you find comfort in knowing he is at peace. I am going to miss you Mylz.

Mylz Waterman…in 6th grade we decided to call each other MW. We shared the same last name and had the same initials. You became one of my favorite students and have held a place in my heart since then. I was really sorry to hear that you lost your battle with Crohn’s disease. You were too young to have to fight to survive. MW, you will be missed by this MW. For Mylz’s family, my sincerest condolences. I wanted you all to know how much he meant to me. I’ve lost a piece of my heart today.💔❤️
