I remember the first conversation we had and keep replaying our last. Always full of jokes and laughs every conversation with you was simple, you were so down to earth, such a great friend. Through all these years we always kept in touch, you always checked up on me. Can't believe the last time we talked a few weeks ago would be the last. Still can't believe you're gone... doesn't seem real. May God rest your soul and bring peace to those closest to you. Although your life on this earth was cut short you brought two other lives into this world and they will live through you and someday carry on your name. I won't say goodbye but see you soon because I can't wait to be able to talk to you again. Rest in peace.
