Pher, No amount of words can express how much you ment to all of us. We had our up's and down's but in the end we always came back together. All we needed is you laughter. You thought no one cared and we proved you wrong. Im sad because you wont get to experience all of lifes joys but I have comfort in knowing your in a better place. I want this to be a lesson for our family. I want them to learn from this that not everyone gets a 2nd chance at life and if you do that you should make the most of it. I love more than you knew. You will always be remembered. Love Always!
