I think about you everyday and how much you supported me as I worked on Grandma's house...
It doesn't seem possible that you've gone on to your next journey. I miss & love you very much.

Drew, you were more than a friend, you were my brother. It was an honor knowing you and I'll never have another friend like you. I love you man and I miss you like crazy but I know you're at peace and I will see you again. You'll always be my best friend. All my love and support to Brad, Liz, and Emily.
