Aw Kevan! You were always so funny and a fun friend. I've thought of you often and am sad that you are no longer here. I heard bells ringing not too long ago so I figured you probably have earned your wings by now. Enjoy the freedom you have now and when I get there I'll be ringing the fire bells so meet me at the fire station.
