MAX LAUTZENHEISER
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO - SEPTEMBER 11, 2008
Max Lautzeneiser enjoys a shower at home after a haircut at George Carl Salon in Windsor on Sept. 11, 2008. The new school year has started and the school district says they can no longer care for Max's intensive needs so are not admitting him for his first grade year. Max Lautzeneiser was diagnosed at birth with Toriello-Carey syndrome. A fatal disease with a life span of about 8 years-old. Although Max was not allowed in back to school, the Lautzeneiser family committed their time to making Max's last months the most enjoyable as possible. (Staff photo by Michael G.
