Matthew, Candee and I loved you so much. The time we lived together through pharmacy school and the few years after we will never forget. Through the distance we never lost our love. We were so blessed to have seen you when you were in FL. As much as this is a loss to us, I know it is worse for your family. We will always love you and our prayers are with your family.
