I still can't believe you're gone bro. It seems like just the other day I was with you visiting you in the hospital and again at home. 43 yrs we go back. Hanging. Bangin. And Slanging. My brother from another Mother. The Memories I have I will always cherish. But I know that you are in a place where there is no more suffering and no more pain. Saying goodbye is sooo hard and such a permanent thing. So I won't say Goodbye. I'll say until we meet again. Hold it down 4 Me bro. Much Love. Pretty Tony. P.T. .
