  • It’s been such a long time since I’ve seen your smiling face and heard your laughs that we once shared as friends growing up, which seems likes a lifetime ago. You have suffered such a long time with a personal pain that no one should of endured, or you shouldn’t have made yourself endure. You were a such great person and a great friend to me and to so many that will miss you dearly. I cannot find the right words to express how I feel about your loss. It’s so sad that you are gone so soon in your life, because you had so much more to give. However, I am glad that you are finally free and at peace with yourself. Lastly, I am sure that you are once again with the one person, Brian, that you hated living without for so long, but at least you won’t be too alone now. May God be with you too. Until we meet again!
