We can still you standing in our kitchen Thursday night. We can still hear your words right as you left, "Be safe, one love". Never expecting the next day we would hear the awful news. We were hoping it would be some horrible joke, and you would call us, letting us know you were okay. Last night it became reality.

Now our prayers are for your family, may they find the stregnth to make it through this world without you in it. We feel blessed to have known you during the last year of your life, and even more blessed to have seen you the last night of your life. You will forever be missed and never forgotten. "You feel Me"?



"one Love,"
