When I got the news, I was in disbelief hoping that it wasn't true, but God makes no mistakes! One of my fondest memories of you was when I taught you how to ride a motorcycle, you were so excited! All those long nights in Decatur Ga, we had so much fun! You were a TRUE friend, and for that I will never forget you...May god bless your mom and family...You will truly be missed! R.I.P DEC!
