God took you away it doesn't seem fair, but in the back of my mind you will always be there, we were close friends, our path did cross, and your absence in this world is to me a great loss, you were to young to die and to innocent to feel that pain, only heaven benefits because of you it has now gained, I may think of you alittle more with each passing day, and when I do that day will always be gray, I wish for you eternal peace thats what you deserve my friend, I hope I lead my life well enough to meet up with you in the end! I LOVE YOU CHICKY
