Gone but never forgotten. We all love and miss you so much, it wasn't your time to go. I remember when we were all so young with not a care in the world and would hang out together us and all your friends while you were riding your bike near rupert and riverfront and hanging out at Mc dondles. i am going to miss you more than anything! Watch over the Care family as well as Nick and John, your family and friends, your mother, father, and sister Courtney. Also please watch over Jordin and Levi, they need you now more than anything. Rest in paradise baby may the angles guide you in. Love and miss you forever and always!
