This caught me off guard, and I have spent the past week stuck reminiscing of times when we were closer. I have not talked to you in awhile thinking time apart would be best for addressing issues we both have, but I had every intention of calling you at some point and it hurts that I will not get that chance. I wanted to tell you I love you, and you will be missed. You may be gone but you will not be forgotten, rest in peace dad and thank you for so many great memories.

Chris, you were and always will be a special part of my past. With many fond memories of you and Albert. We lived as a family… like brother and sister. How life separated us. My heart is hurting. You are now truly free. Love Simmy 🙌😘🥲😇
