Tanya, I am so very sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing that Devon is at peace. And remember all of the good times you had with him and know that he is an angel watching over you now.

I can't believe I will be seeing you for the last time today! I can't believe I won't hear you call my name and crack some priceless jokes. My heart has continued to ache since I heard about the accident. I haven't been able to travel down that road and it breaks my heart that I wasn't able to be there for my friend in his time of need! The last convo we had was just the day before and it was just as it always was. Who knew it would be bittersweet. Miss and love you dear friend. I wouldn't dare forget all of our memories :)
