You were quiet and cute in high school.We had science class together, Miss Herr. Just you being there helped me to try harder and earned me an A in Herr class. Being your older brothers girlfriend for so long I had to do well around you two geniuses. So saddened to hear you left the planet too early. It looks like you got and gave a lot of love from family and friends. I don't know when but I will see you again. And we can watch a classic Science Fiction movie together.

Well, it's been almost four years now since you left us and I'm still missing you more than ever! Still feels like I should be able to swing by your place and stop for a visit. But, then that sinking realization that there's no place to stop, and, the even sadder feeling that there's no place or way to get a hold of you. I know we will see each other again someday, and that is a comfort but I really wish you were here right now with us. I just hope you know how very much I miss you, how much...
