Nearly two decades have passed sinceyou left this world The earth cried and sang the saddest songThis day the earth echoes its song of sadness and tears wash the pain love so deep its beauty shines hold us as we hold you until we are together again

Say hi to my Dad for me...we're all missing you both and your dad so much.

No matter how much time goes by, I will always remember Todd, a good friend, a classmate, and my neighbor from growing up with. He was such a truly special and genuinely kind person.

Dear Ethan,
