Coming up on 6 years Brah! One of your famous words. So many things come to mind when i think of you, face clothes, prince! I hope there is a place for all of us to join together after here because this place is brutal and it challenges you in ways you will never understand. Your kids are all growing up so much, I go take a look at their photos from time to time remembering how little they were and it brings me back to the old days. I have yet to visit your grave, one day i will make it out there .

I try to pretend that you are still here to keep the painful thoughts and tears away, but you always told me to "keep it real." So I guess I finally need to say goodbye for now, and I will take care of our daughter the best I can until the end of my days.

My dawg I still think about u everyday.. im 31 but it took me 27 yrs to realize what the Def of a tru friend was...I never had a friend like u n prob never will.. I never knew u touched so many souls .. guess I was jus being selfish tryin to keep u to my self lol... My girl used to make jokes on how I would spend more time being around u then her... But now it seems like ur passing is killing her more than me so do u c the impact u alone brings into other peoples lifes? U were truly an angel I will miss u.. I will show my kids later on in life wht it means to b a real friend .. u rest peacefully my dawg till we meet again...

May his family find solace in realizing that this young man touched so many lives in a positive way and he will always be alive in spirit because he will never be forgotten. Cherish the fun and happy times he shared with you. He has crossed the bar...something we must all do at some time in life. There is a brighter side somewhere.
