Sharing sad news of Seymour teen's passing

A note from the Facebook page of the Office of Seymour First Selectman Kurt Miller:

"It is with heartfelt sympathy that the Seymour community mourns the loss of Seymour High School student Nina Poeta after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Our love and support are with the Poeta family. 

"Seymour High School will be open to provide grief counseling to all of our students and parents through out the day. A memorial for Nina has been set up at the high school for anyone wishing to pay their respects."



I offer my heartfelt condolences to the Poeta family.


The Valley community and beyond rallied around the family since Nina was diagnosed with a brain tumor last November, and my hope is the family can take some comfort in that.
