“When I heard he used his last few seconds on earth to try to save his friends, I was not surprised. I am so incredibly proud of him.”
In her son’s legacy, Scarlet Lewis has created the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation and promotes way for communities to “choose love over anger, gratitude over entitlement, and forgiveness and compassion over bitterness.”
