I remember when I first met you in high school in our construction class. I remember you cracking jokes and I would always laugh at the silly things you would say, but you would be so serious and funny at the same time. We became cool and it was always nothing but love when we say each other. After high school I always used to wonder how you were doing and when I found out you passed it hurt my heart to hear that. You were one of the coolest people I knew in high school and you will forever be missed and loved. Fly high my G!

“It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter, and although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.”
