Letter to the editor: We love you more

I am the mother of Nicholas Whitaker, the Castro Valley High School teacher.

Thank you Castro Valley High School, teachers, students and community for all your support, love and help you all gave to my beloved son Nicholas, and for realizing the love he had for all of you, and the courage he showed throughout his time in the battle against the hateful disease of cancer. Nicholas loved you all and truly cared for your welfare. His passing has left a hole in our heart, but his example of humanity and love of people will live on through his students and all those who knew him.

He wanted us all to be kind to each other, and he set the example which I hope we can all follow, not just for ourselves but for our communities and for humanity.

Dear Nicholas, we love you more!

Zohreh Whitaker
